fontmin icon indicating copy to clipboard operation
fontmin copied to clipboard

If this is supposed to reduce the size of fonts, it’s not working

So, as a test, I run Fontmin on some heavily subsetted and optimized fonts I have (with only English and Spanish support), and the program makes the fonts too big; here -fontmin is the Fontmin processed font:

-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set 144948 oct 26 00:15 Caulixtla008-Bold-fontmin.ttf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set  50380 oct 26 00:08 Caulixtla008-Bold.ttf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set 129026 oct 26 00:15 Caulixtla008-Italic-fontmin.ttf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set  27208 oct 26 00:08 Caulixtla008-Italic.ttf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set 213264 oct 26 00:15 Caulixtla009p-fontmin.ttf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set  46508 oct 26 00:08 Caulixtla009p.ttf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set  86994 oct 26 00:15 MiniCaulixtla-SerifBold-fontmin.ttf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set  20036 oct 26 00:08 MiniCaulixtla-SerifBold.ttf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set  99930 oct 26 00:15 MiniSmallCaps-fontmin.ttf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 set set  41436 oct 26 00:08 MiniSmallCaps.ttf

The original fonts are here:

Looks like this doesn’t help with already heavily sized optimized Western fonts.
