i've downloaded the DejaVu open source font and want to use it ad a WebFont, but even when converting it, i get a large file, and because the website i'll use will be only in few languages (arabic, french, amazigh) then, i dont need some characters.
so is there a way to browse the font file and delete the unnecessary range of unicode characters that i'll not need?

To remove glyphs from the font, in the Font window or Font Map panel: Select the glyphs that you want to remove. Select the Delete command from the Edit menu or press the Backspace (or Del ) key on the keyboard. A dialog box appears asking you if you are sure that you want to delete the glyphs.
Windows' Character Map (found in the Programs > Accessories > System Tools menu) shows all the characters in a font in the form of a scrollable grid.
Using str. replace() , we can replace a specific character. If we want to remove that specific character, replace that character with an empty string.
Using FontForge, you may open Element->Font Info->Unicode Ranges. You will see all available ranges and you can select a whole Unicode range with a single click. Then, you can tune your selection and delete using Encoding->Detach & Remove Glyphs.
Also, you can use Edit->Select->Select by Script.
