The other is simple practicality - these things take time to develop, you can either wait until all the glyphs are done, or release subsets that cover languages as you work; a subset that covers part of a language isn't very useful but subsets that cover whole languages are.
- ivanca 12y agoThat is a technical problem to solve. There should be a way for browsers to only download the characters being rendered in the current page; so even if the file is 134Mb it could get only the little pieces of it that it needs.
- pornel 12y agoThere is a solution already: you split the font into separate files declare which characters are present in each file: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/unicode-range https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/unicode-ran...
