Thanks for your reply that surprised me. So otf fonts seem to be heavier than ttf ones. I use otf files from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linu...bertine/5.3.0/

I thought that the downsizing was possibly not complete because 525k for 110 characters seemed to be a little bloated

Two years ago I had prepared a regular ttf web-font of Linux Libertine using font-squirrel online service and this web-font had a 60k only size and had usually enough characters for a French novel. It is attached here. There was a downside though: any time I needed a Spanish or other foreign accent, I had to make a new web-font and this was a tedious process.

So, as soon as you began subsetting fonts with the Editor, I stopped using it because also otf fonts are nicer (ligatures). I will follow on...
