title: How can I only use Latin subset with Google Fonts WOFF2 files?
body: <p>I wanted to add a font with Google Fonts, and I have noticed an odd behavior.</p>
  
  <p>I want to add a font with only the latin subset, I do not want latin-ext, cyrillic or cyrillic-ext subset, in order to lighten the code. I understand that's the default behavior, so I've done like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Philosopher"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Firefox (and the other browsers that do not support WOFF2), I get a correct output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@font-face {
      font-family: 'Philosopher';
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: 400;
      src: local('Philosopher'), url(http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/philosopher/v7/OttjxgcoEsufOGSINYBGLbrIa-7acMAeDBVuclsi6Gc.woff) format('woff');
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But in Chrome, I get this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/* cyrillic */
  @font-face {
      font-family: 'Philosopher';
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: 400;
      src: local('Philosopher'), url(http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/philosopher/v7/OttjxgcoEsufOGSINYBGLV4sYYdJg5dU2qzJEVSuta0.woff2) format('woff2');
      unicode-range: U+0400-045F, U+0490-0491, U+04B0-04B1, U+2116;
  }
  /* latin */
  @font-face {
      font-family: 'Philosopher';
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: 400;
      src: local('Philosopher'), url(http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/philosopher/v7/OttjxgcoEsufOGSINYBGLZQV2lvL5Ba9FjAYK6Lx0Qk.woff2) format('woff2');
      unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2212, U+2215, U+E0FF, U+EFFD, U+F000;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I thought, maybe the latin subset is not a default behavior anymore, so I added to my <code>&lt;link&gt;</code> the <code>subset</code> GET parameter:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Philosopher&amp;subset=latin"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it didn't change the output. When I go with a <code>&amp;subset=cyrillic</code>, it changes in Firefox, but the Chrome output is the same.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to output only the latin subset?</p>
  
  <p>Or is just that the WOFF2 and unicode-range won't be downloaded if there is no need on the page? And in this last case, the gain from stripping the cyrillic call is just 8 lines of code ine the css file, that to say ~300 bytes, and it just doesn't worth anything?</p>
