I was thinking of using one of the PDF builtin encodings like WinAnsiEncoding
for the 8-bit subset. I want to avoid custom 8-bit encodings in PDF due to
buggy PDF readers. Before cairo switched to CID fonts we were getting bug
reports as a result of PDF readers that didn't handle custom encodings well,
particularly when printing.

I don't really like the idea of choosing the subsetting based on the first
page. It is too unpredictable and likely to result in bug reports where the
user complains that X stopped working after changing something in the document.
It would be better to add API for controlling the subsetting. That way the
application which should have visibility of all characters used in the document
can make the decision.
