Comment (by lancewillett):

 Interesting -- I must have read the Google Fonts API incorrectly. I
 thought in order to only load certain character subsets you would use
 {{{subset}}} to specify only the ones you wanted -- and leaving it off
 would load all.

 Options are {{{latin, latin-ext, cyrillic, cyrillic-ext, greek, greek-ext,
 vietnamese}}}.

 I think for "en" cases where the setting is English, we should load Latin
 and Latin Extended.

 Then, we have options on how to treat non-English languages by loading
 extra character sets.

 1. Try to guess by the site's current language setting, and load that
 extra character set if it's appropriate.
 1. Let translators specify the character subset, and load it if it matches
 a whitelist we provide (from Open Sans page:
 http://www.google.com/webfonts#QuickUsePlace:quickUse/Family:Open+Sans)
 1. Load everything for everyone (could be slow for performance)
