For example, you can split your Awesome Font family into Latin and Japanese subsets, each of which the browser downloads on an as-needed basis:. Unicode-range subsetting is particularly important for Asian languages, where the number of glyphs is much larger than in Western languages and a typical "full" font is often measured in megabytes instead of tens of kilobytes. The use of Unicode range subsets and separate files for each stylistic variant of the font allows you to define a composite font family that is both faster and more efficient to download.
Visitors only download the variants and subsets they need, and they aren't forced to download subsets that they may never see or use on the page. Most browsers now support unicode-range. For compatibility with older browsers you may need to fall back to "manual subsetting". In this case you have to fall back to providing a single font resource that contains all the necessary subsets and hide the rest from the browser.
For example, if the page is only using Latin characters, then you can strip other glyphs and serve that particular subset as a standalone resource. Each font family is composed of multiple stylistic variants regular, bold, italic and multiple weights for each style, each of which, in turn, may contain very different glyph shapes—for example, different spacing, sizing, or a different shape altogether.
For example, the above diagram illustrates a font family that offers three different bold weights: regular , bold , and extra bold. All other in-between variants indicated in gray are automatically mapped to the closest variant by the browser. When a weight is specified for which no face exists, a face with a nearby weight is used. In general, bold weights map to faces with heavier weights and light weights map to faces with lighter weights. Similar logic applies to italic variants.
The font designer controls which variants they will produce, and you control which variants you'll use on the page. Because each variant is a separate download, it's a good idea to keep the number of variants small.
For example, you can define two bold variants for the Awesome Font family:. However, what happens if one of your CSS rules specifies a different font weight, or sets the font-style property to italic?
