Abstract
Subject matter described herein is directed to providing font-rendering information (e.g., XPS file) that is usable to print a document. For example, a font file is received that defines a font type included in the document. A determination is made that a quantity of pages of the document does not exceed a subsetting-optimization threshold. When the quantity of pages does not exceed the threshold, a subsetted font file of the font type is generated. The subsetted file is provided, such as via the spool file, to a print subsystem.
