This is unacceptable for web or mobile applications. This is where font subsetting comes in &ndash; you only need the specific characters used in a particular frontend interface, so you export just those characters from the font into a new TTF file, leaving out the unnecessary ones.</p> <p>I highly recommend a Chinese font subsetting tool: TTF Font Library Subsetting and Conversion Tool</p> <p>Download link: <a class="link" href="http://pan.baidu.com/s/1skI7FiP" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >http://pan.baidu.com/s/1skI7FiP</a> Password: qb27</p> <p><img src="http://blog.coinidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/image001-212x300.png" loading="lazy" alt="image001" ></p> <p>Note that the target font to be subsetted must first be installed in the Windows system.</p>
