What exactly does it mean to subset the fonts, when the fonts are included
in a PDF?

Reading through the license of a commercial font I'm interested in, I see it stipulated for PDF files created that:
"... a reader or user cannot create new content using one of our fonts in a PDF application ... the complete font is not embedded"
And in an email correspondence with the vendor:
"We just ask that you subset the font when exporting the PDFs ..."
Do PDF's generated by XeTeX and LuaTeX "subset the font" in this way?
Yes, this is the default. So unless you have manually interfered, the included fonts are always subsetted.
Best wishes, Taco
