I agree and think this is likely to offer significant saving. We should measure, of course, but it looks like the number of axes is going up in VF over time, so axis dropping and axis subsetting are likely to help significantly. It does mean though that in addition to requesting more glyphs in response to subsequent page loads, we might need to add back axes which were dropped but are now needed. -- Chris Lilley @svgeesus Technical Director @ W3C W3C Strategy Team, Core Web Design W3C Architecture & Technology Team, Core Web & Media
