17.8.3.15 saveSubsetFonts

This element specifies that applications shall subset fonts when font embedding is enabled for this document using the embedTrueTypeFonts element (17.8.3.8). Subsetting is a mechanism by which only the glyphs used in the contents of this WordprocessingML document are stored in an embedded font, in order to prevent the file from becoming unnecessarily large from the use of a small number of glyphs from a large embedded font.

If this element is omitted, then the set of fonts should not be subsetted in the current document when font embedded is turned on. If the embedTrueTypeFonts element is omitted or false, then this setting has no effect.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document that specifies that it must subset embedded fonts. This requirement would be specified using the following WordprocessingML in the document settings part:

<w:embedTrueTypeFonts w:val="true" />
<w:saveSubsetFonts w:val="true"/>

The embedSystemFonts element’s val attribute has a value of true specifying fonts should be subsetted in this document when they are embedded. end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
