I looked into this when I wrote the CFF subsetting but never got around to actually writing any code. Preserving the hinting in PDF was the priority while subsetting CFF to Type 1 for PS was in the "nice to have" category. > The full-CFF to subset-CFF conversion used in cairo's PDF export is > very nice indeed.

I am interested in seeing free software have full support for OTF/CFF fonts. The only dependencies I am aware of are cairo-array.c and cairo-hash.c. Of course it would also be nice for cairo to receive any bug fixes and enhancements you make to the code. I have been thinking about whether adding API to cairo to expose the font subsetting code would be useful. I don't know if anything like that would be useful to you. However breaking out whatever you need is probably the easiest solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
