Hi

The Calibre editor produces nicely subsets of embedded fonts. On average, one EPUB in French language is made from, say 120 to 130 different characters. We can find the total list of all these characters using the tab "characters" in the lower line of the report tool of the Editor.

I embed usually the Linux Libertine font. Each variant, regular, italic, bold has a size of about 800 k. The Calibre editor reduces them for one test book respectively to 166k, 129k and 77k. This seems understandable because there are much more regular characters used than italic and bold ones. Hence, I suppose that the Calibre editor makes use of a reduced sublist of italic and bold characters.

My question is the following: where -or how- can I display (and copy) the list of the different italic and bold characters?
