I do not have experience in subsetting TrueType fonts, but I read the
pure Python code dedicated to this task in ReportLab:
http://www.reportlab.co.uk/svn/public/reportlab/trunk/reportlab/pdfbase/ttfonts.py
It proves it's possible to achieve it in pure Python, without
requiring fonttools. And it can be a good source of inspiration.
Perhaps the licence is compatible with matplotlib's one?
