Hi,
Great work, easy to use (didn't use but read your webpage). Sometimes I only use subsets of used characters, the used characters in a header f.i. Exporting a subset would make me a fan of this app.
Good luck!

Hey, thanks! I was wondering about that use case actually.

How do you work with a subset of characters? As in that case one has to sacrifice the ASCII-code-to-character mapping (e.g. 'b' is not 'b' anymore when you take out 'a'). I imagine that you just use raw hex codes instead of chars in the code?

I used fontconvert a few times for small projects. If I remember well, the result is a file with only the data of the selected characters with a lookup table at the end of the file.

Closing this as the subset export functionality is implemented in the 1.1.0 release.
