you haven't proven anything. you're just babbling.

partial fonts are rarely used in a pdf because there is no point in
bothering. the savings are not worth the trouble.

you personally might do it, but you'd be the exception, and you're just
making things difficult for those who have to read your pdfs.


I personally don't do anything. I use software, and the software is
designed to do it, despite your bablings to the contrary.

it might be designed to do it, but the reality is that very few people
actually do it. lots of features are rarely used, if at all.

I don't use any features, just defaults...

exactly, as do most people.

using a partial font requires an explicit user action, versus simply
using the defaults. you are agreeing with me yet you argue anyway.

No, it doesn't. Using defaults I get a partial font.

that's a very bad default, and not common.
