You "only" have to prepare different encodings and reencode one font to
more than one encoding. For all of this fonts you have to prepare virtual
fonts for TeXs sake. Then map this virtual fonts to one reencoded ttf-file:
5ggra8r Glasgow-Regular "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8ar.enc <s-glas.ttf
5ggrb8r Glasgow-Regular "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8br.enc <s-glas.ttf
as Hans stated, pdftex only embeds s-glas.ttf one time. BTW 8ar and 8br
are hypothetical encodings -- you get it!
