I don't know much about this font resource dict, is it global?

Using the object structure of PDF, isn't it possible to define many
fonts that share a same "glyph container" object as ultimate resource,
but with different headers, where FontMatrix would be different? As you
do for multiple subsets of a single font when present in various
included PDFs?
