I've done some testing while working on version 2.14-1 :

*** before removing glyphs ***
230052 DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf
223336 DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf
252288 DejaVuSans.ttf
------
705676

*** after removing glyphs ***
203024 DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf
196980 DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf
223720 DejaVuSans.ttf
------
664436

which saves (705676 - 664436) = 41240 bytes

regards,
Davide
