PT Sans should be split into Latin & Cyrillic subsets #33

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently, the PT Sans font is embedded as a single monolithic file including 
both Latin and Cyrillic characters.

This is not the case for most fonts on the Font Directory; for most of the 
multilingual fonts on the directory, such as Ubuntu, the Latin and Cyrillic 
characters are separated into subsets.

As a result, using PT Sans on my English-only blog carries a larger download 
size than a comparable font that is split into subsets, such as Ubuntu or 
Arimo. The TTF is a 300 KB download for <em>each</em> font in the family.
