Optimize Fonts for the Web using FontForge

How to optimize a font for the web with FontForge. I'm going to remove symbols that I'm never going to use from the font and then I'm going to save it as a .woff file. The specific font I used became over 90% smaller.

Thanks for watching! Please post questions or feedback. Also if you use this in one of your creations, it would be great if you shared it here.

Great tutorial, both consise and informative. The tip about compact encoding is a lifesaver! I've been muddling my way around FontForge, but your video has helped me to identify some areas of improvement and certainly helped speed things up! Thank you. 👍

Thanks you, by the way, how do you add a removed font in case if you need it later? How can I copy from the original file a certain glyph and then paste it to the optimized one?
Would appreciate your help here :)

When you're done editing use File->Save As to save the project file (.sfd). Open up the original font file (.otf/.ttf) later and right-click copy/paste the glyph to your project. Then generate the .woff file again. I think that should work. I'll probably need to do this later once I finish learning Spanish. I'm glad you found the video useful! :)

I just tried copying characters over and it didn't work very well. It was easier to just open the original font and delete characters I didn't need again. I don't plan on supporting any more languages than English and Spanish.
