I've found a Perl-based TTF font subsetter here: https://bitbucket.org/philip/font-optimizer/overview (MIT license)

there seems to be some C++ source here: http://podofo.sourceforge.net/doc/ht...TTFSubset.html (LGPL)

Another Perl one here: http://search.cpan.org/~mhosken/Font-TTF-Scripts/ (Perl Artistic license 2.0)

A php one here: http://www.4real.gr/technical-documents-ttf-subset.html

Aha! A python one under active development as part of a PDF generation project: http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/ (LGPL)

I do not know if any of the projects also work on otf fonts.

matplotlib is another python project that seems to include font subsetting: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib (an attribution licence)
