Large web font (yes or no?)

I want to use a special font on my website, but the file is more than 9 MB. Can I reduce the font size? Thanks guys!

If the EULA font allows this, you can reduce the number of glyphs in the OpenType font using FontForge .

If this site is not used through a LAN connection, using a 9 MB font is ridiculous. This will force each user to upload a 9 MB file just to view the font used. You will be much better off choosing the font that everyone has.

www.fontsquirrel.com offers a font set section that converts fonts to you — one option is to have a subset of the glyphs — only uppercase or just numbers. This can help reduce size. Typically, fonts used as WOFF are below 100 kb.

Even if you reduce the font, most user web browsers will not load or display it.
