This does not fit nicely in the template but I try.

1. Generate a file containing pictures, say with pdflatex and some latex graphics package. Some fonts will be included in a subsetted form.
2. Extract the pictures with tools such as pdfseparate and pdfcrop (or similar tools, like pdftk)
3. Include these pictures in a different document

I would expect all instances of a given font to be merged. However, only those whose names match EXACTLY are merged. So, if I call pdffonts on the file and get several instances of "DFLHBQ+Georgia CID TrueType? Identity-H yes yes yes 346 0", after invoking pdfsizeopt there is only one.

But this does not work with different sub settings. So if I have embedded and subsetted "SZVXDT+Georgia" and  "EGVBUZ+Georgia" they are not merged. It would be nice to have an option to merge such fonts as well. (I am aware that this could be quite tricky.)

Yes, these fonts should be merged, and if there is no bug in pdfsizeopt, it should already do the merging automatically.

Could you please attach a small sample input and output PDF, and also copy-paste what pdfsizeopt prints for you?

Marking the bug as Invalid until some input files are uploaded which demonstrate the problem.
