Any idea on how to embed font or convert special glyph to svg glyphs?

I dug a bit into the approach asciinema takes for this. Seems like they have a special web font for Powerline symbols. From their CSS file:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Powerline Symbols';
  src: local('Powerline Symbols'), local('PowerlineSymbols'), url('/fonts/PowerlineSymbols-16d842d90121c528e972bd3af66cf5e0.otf?vsn=d') format('opentype');
}

A feature to optionally embed this web font into the resulting SVG would solve this. Let's see how pronounced the performance impact of this is - maybe we could even strip the font down to the glyphs we find to be actually in use?
