The biggest culprit is the advertising matter at the back with covers of maybe 20 books. The least used font might be the chapter headings.

It's possible it's one particular font Calibre chokes on when trying to create a subset? I didn't investigate yet.

Shameless plug: If Calibre fails to subset your fonts, you could also try my quick & dirty Sigil font subsetting plugin.
What Doits says^. Don't subset on the way "in." Subset when it's done. Works a treat as does Doits' font subsetting plugin.
