How do I do this > from my SVG capable wordprocessor? Does your wordprocessor have font subsetting capabilities for fonts it's embedding? If not, you file a bug report on whoever created the wordprocessor to add that feature. A number of wordprocessors will in fact do this automatically when you embed fonts. For the other cases, there are various options but the simplest is probably that there are now (and have been for several years) multiple services precisely for creating @font-face variants of fonts you already have which feature subsetting as one of the capabilities they provide. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/10/20/review-of-popular-web-font-embedding-services/ is a somewhat old review of the options. -Boris
