The Libertine Font Files are rather large when considering using them for font-face embedding. For many pages a subset like latin-1 would be enough. It would be nice if such (a) file(s) would be provided.
When embedding fonts in PDFs, you are usually asked to choose if you want to embed just a subset or the whole font. Subset should be enabled by default. Due to Unicode, font files usually still grow from time to time and it is not the idea of unicode to split fonts into peaces... If PDF with subset font embedding is not what you intent to do, give me more information. By the way, if you choose OTF-fonts instead of TTF, you will have much smaller file sizes.

Although I am not the original filer of this request, this is exactly what I would be looking for.
I understand the initial comment from Philipp, and possibly for embedding fonts in PDFs this could work (although I doubt that simpler PDF generators like the one include in Microsoft Office would support this).
However, when generating ePUB files (by hand, so not using a program like InDesign), there is no option for subsets. In such cases, having the ability to include only a subset of a given font would be extremely helpful.
Offering an interactive service, e.g. comparable to the @font-face generator offered by Font Squirrel, would be fantastic.
