Abstract
A computer-implemented technique is presented. The technique can include receiving, at a server comprising one or more processors, a first request from a computing device, the first request being for a source document associated with a web page, the source document specifying a font in which to display text in the source document. The technique can include obtaining, at the server, the source document indicated by the first request. The technique can include determining, at the server, a subset of the font by identifying unique characters in the source document, the subset of the font including less than all of the characters of the font. The technique can also include providing, from the server, the source document and information identifying the subset of the font to the computing device.
