Just included the used characters, not the whole font file.
Some of the other tables are also stripped down (not only the 'glyf'
table), so that the embedded font is not complete. In fact, some
programs will refuse to open the font if we extract it from the PDF,
which is precisely the idea of a subsetted font (you can't use the PDF
to retrieve the font).
I wonder about these webfonts .. the whole model is based on good will
and no abuse .. it's a comparable issue.
