I don't know, but in this case, I don't want to embed fonts, I don't know how LuaTeX can do that but it runs really slow on my ancient PC, especially on the first time when it's generating font cache. > > > > I searched the mail list for a while and I got that if I didn't specify > the > > font file, it will not be embeded and Acrobat Reader will just use its > own > > fonts to show the characters. > > > > I want to make some Chinese documents and I think if I don't embed any > > fonts, it will be much smaller than it used to be.
