Of course I could include all sizes e g from 6 to 18 (including bold, italic, and bold italic) but this would result in about 350..400 kB per font.

As you imply, it's a tradeoff between point size granularity/fidelity and font file size, so it really depends on what you want. 8/10/12/14, which are the defaults when you create a font with iSiloX, give a good range that does not include fonts sizes that are either too small or that are too large and take too much screen space. As for style, iSilo synthesizes bold and italic effects if versions of the font in those styles are not present. So if iSilo's synthesis is acceptable, then there is no need to include those styles. But if you want truer styles, then you can include those styles at the expense of a larger font file.
