filesize - Way to reduce size of .ttf fonts?

Question

Is there any way to reduce the size of the .ttf fonts? i.e. if we want to remove some glyps which we are not using.

Answer 1

With Google Web Fonts, you can limit the character set like:

//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=FontName&text=Lorem%20Ipsum

This would be particularly useful if Google had icon fonts like Font Awesome
