Hello all,

Thanks for the detailed discussion so far.

I'd add the following question to those you cited because I think this
is kind of related to the subject:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/329935/8425

In his answer, Philipp stated that loading only a small subset of a
font would be possible but would need some changes to luaotfload.
According to him, that would not significantly speed up compilation.

But things may have changed since 2016.

Best regards
