Abstract
Documents that are created using a particular font often do not include all glyphs defined for the font. Accordingly, to reduce the amount of bandwidth needed to obtain the font used to create the document over a network, a font file may be created that includes a reduced set of glyphs. In one or more examples, the font file might only include the glyphs used in the document being viewed. Reduced glyph font files may be generated on-the-fly and/or cached for quick retrieval at a later time.
