Cool!

I was thinking in a similar, but slightly different tool that would be
used to help subsetting fonts for small pieces of text, instead of
returning all possible glyphs, it returns to set of glyphs: final glyphs
that will be shown and any intermediate glyphs that were processed
during OT layout, so I keep the final glyphs and put some dummy outlines
in the intermediate ones and remove everything else. Not sure how easy
is that, but just in case.

Regards,
 Khaled
