Font Subsetting
When applications have to setup Postscript files for printing, the problem is
that these files often grow large. Each font which is not known to the
Postscript interpeter, i.e., usually each font that is not part of the set of
35 standard fonts, has to be downloaded as part of the file. The size of a
particular font file often can be reduced by font subsetting, because usually
only a small subset of the available character descriptions is actually
needed.
