I’m trying to subset a complex font (understand complex as a lot of classes and calt and not auto-updatable lists). Well, at first Remove Glyphs, Remove Features, Remove Classes was working well, until the point that I had to Replace Classes, I can do it, but is risky… and boring =P
So I asked @mekkablue if he knew an option to subset after exporting, and he suggested me pyftsubset, perfect, works as I wished. I exported a “full” woff from Glyphs, and subsetted via pyftsubset. The weird thing is: the subsetted font is about 10Kb bigger than the full one. Any idea why this happens? Or how to adjust that?
Check the table size with OTMaster. That should give you some ideas.

If you have fontTools/ttx installed, you can list the table sizes like this:
ttx -l TheMixOffice-Regular.woff2

Can you paste the pyftsubset line you used?
You mean this?

I also added--layout-features+=dlig --no-hinting
The GPOS is more than twice as big. That is not good.
if I export the table with ttx, they are exactly the same
