Font subsetting is fully implemented in the BDF, PCF, Type 1, Speedo and freetype backends. I haven't checked the SNF or X-TT backends. Try xfd -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-75-75-c-*-iso8859-1[65_90]' I still think that there is no point in working with core fonts any more. Core fonts are obsolescent in my opinion, and the OP really should think about using Xft. (Keith, how's Xft's support for bitmap fonts? Is Francesco Zappa's work on BDF support in FreeType complete enough?)
