Maybe it will be easier to first do a rough reduction based on ranges, mainly to see how this works out and extend this later to only include needed characters. I'm somewhat afraid that reducing TTF files could also "reduce" away metadata (like kerning tables) that are in the TTF file if the tool used to do the reduction happens not to support the metadata. The fairly big reduction Davide saw after removing only a few characters could indicate something like that.
