Could I fork this font to make a Latin/Greek/Cyrillic-only version?

Sure. Pretendard is based on Inter and Source Han Sans and it's distributed under the Open Font License 1.1, so you can do whatever you want.

But if you want to use the non-CJK subset version of Pretendard on web, although it only supports Basic Latin that you’ve mentioned, you can use the ‘Dynamic Subset’ of Pretendard:

CSS

@import url('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/orioncactus/pretendard/dist/web/static/pretendard-dynamic-subset.css');

HTML

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/orioncactus/pretendard/dist/web/static/pretendard-dynamic-subset.css" />

But it's the version with only the Basic set of the whole Latin character set among those you've mentioned, so I'm considering including Latin/Greek/Cyrillic into the current dynamic subset. I hope this comment is helpful for you. Thank you.

@orioncactus - Good, however I'm wishing to use this on desktop.

Then you can use the latest Pretendard release. It includes all of the Latin/Greek/Cyrillic character set. Can you tell me why you want the non-CJK subset version of Pretendard?

@orioncactus - Because it looks better than original Inter (it looks closer to San Francisco than original Inter). Em qua., 14 de jul. de 2021 1:54 AM, Kil Hyung-jin ***@***.***> escreveu:

Thank you for your compliment. I plan on consistently improving Pretendard to become a more general font.

I'll close this issue. And if you have another question, feel free to reopen this issue!

Hi @orioncactus! Is there a Latin/Greek/Cyrillic only version for "Pretendard Variable"? Because I'm trying to use Pretendard on my website and the woff2 variable font file provided from here is about 2.3mb, which I think is too big.

[orioncactus]

Hello @frencojobs! Thank you for your interest about Pretendard. In the near future, Pretendard will be updated by adding a new family called 'Pretendard JP' that's supporting Japanese. So that means It can expand additional family like 'Pretendard Std' as Latin/Greek/Cyrillic only version, but since it is not currently a priority, I'm not sure when exactly I can release Latin/Greek/Cyrillic only version. So in the meantime, I recommend you to make subset file from Pretendard Variable using fonttools.

Hello! I just released Latin/Greek/Cyrillic only version of Pretendard and Pretendard Variable 2 days ago with named 'Pretendard Std', and also you can use the Pretendard webfonts with low-weight as 'Pretendard Std' via jsDelivr.

Here's the code:
