One pretty frequent complaint is that the eps files produced by matplotlib can be huge because they include the full font. Nowadays some popular fonts include characters for Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, and possibly even Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, so a font can be several megabytes large. 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? - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Perhaps the licence is compatible with Nicolas matplotlib's one? it is BSD which is compatible-- it appears that ttfonts pull in a bit more or report lab, but this might be worth looking into. I don't know if and how the techniques cold be generalized to PS embedding. I think the problem Paul ran into (who did the PS embedding work) was not getting the relevant info for specific glyphs, but how to write the postscript to encode the subset.
