I'm not sure if this has been asked on the forum before and if it has, I'm sorry. Is there a way to embed only a subset of the fonts used in the document? I have a two page document written in Japanese characters, and when I convert it with the fonts embedded it goes from 183KB to 44.5MB. That is a HUGE difference and I'm not sure what I can do about it.

subset of embedded fonts

Hi, it cannot embed subsets only. The only solution I see is to create it without embedded fonts and ensure that the recipient has those used fonts (or you could send the font separately).

In a future version of doPDF we'll embed by default all used font subsets.
This is a quote of yourself:
http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/which-fonts-are-supported#post-309So why is it that subsets are not to be/cannot be supported all of a sudden? In my opinion it makes doPDF completely useless, as a 182KB PDF-file with some text becomes a 2.99MB file when fonts are embedded (whereas if I create the same file with subset of fonts embedded in OpenOffice, the file is only 81KB).

No one said that subsets cannot be supported, just that they'll be in a future version. In fact this feature will be included in dopdf 7 which should be released in november or early december.
Right now if you want to reduce the size of the pdf you can choose not to embed the fonts.

How do I embed fonts? I converted some files and the fonts were not embedded with the default settings.

Make sure you have the latest version installed of dopdf, and then in the window that lets you select where to save the pdf file check the option "Embed fonts"
