Hmm, there are still a lot series 1 systems around
with their 640KByte subtitle/font limit. I guess it would not be a good idea to use a
large font file supporting a lot of glyphs, but instead, use smaller fonts for every VF
aimed at the specific language? Especially because I think many DCPs created with
DCP-o-matic use only a single reel for convenience...
So, I guess we should work on some font recommendations?
I simply looked up the Fonts available on my Mac, and indeed, those supporting chinese
glyphs are the largest of them - several Megabytes.
I know there is the TI Fontcompressor to reduce them to the glyphset actually used in a
specific subtitle file.
