unable to subset certain characters

[bitinn]

My steps for reproduction

1. get http://www.apple.com/wss/fonts/PingHei/v1/PingHei-light.woff
2. convert into ttf via https://andrewsun.com/projects/woffjs/woffer-woff-font-converter/
3. use character-map to produce the glyph map string like character-map -f pinghei.ttf > map.txt
4. try to subset the same ttf file, fontmin -t cat map.txt pinghei.ttf > subset.ttf
5. character-map -f subset.ttf > map2.txt

Compare map.txt and map2.txt, some obscure glyph appear to be missing (most chinese fonts appear to be intact though).

If we only do fontmin pinghei.ttf > subset.ttf the character map doesn't change, so I am guessing some characters are not allowed by your -t settings.

weird, it's definitely in my browser's cache, let me share it then. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ihec7zwd7bpsjlz/PingHei-light.woff?dl=0

(you should also be able to find it on http://www.apple.com/cn/environment/ using chrome's devtool network tab)

PS: once you got the ttf in 2nd step, you can also check it using: http://bluejamesbond.github.io/CharacterMap/
