Re: CSS3 @font-face / EOT Fonts

I think there are some things that could be done that would help 
everyone.  One that comes to mind is simply  encouraging sub-setting 
a font when it's embedded on the web.  I have been told that 
sub-setting is disallowed by some (many?) font licenses.  It clearly 
has the dual benefit of making the font smaller (usually much 
smaller) and much much less useful outside its intended context.  If 
I set a headline in a fancy font, a subset is likely to carry only a 
few glyphs (down from a few thousand).
