Well I downloaded FontForge and played around a little. gzip -9'ing the orignal Vera.ttf gives me a 40173 byte file. gzip -9'ing my modified Vera ttf gives me a 26984 byte file. I basically selected all non-latin chars and hit delete to clear them. I don't know all that much about fonts and this was just a first attempt, but the fonts don't seem all that big to begin with... -A.
