Then XeTeX can treat otf fonts correctly? I never tried that. I convert the
otf file into multiple type1 fonts (which compiles much more faster on my
PC) and I got 1.7M with 60 pages with pdftex embed the subsets. And I got
440.9K with the same document and the same tfm files except I specify Adobe
Reader to use SimSun and not embed any fonts. I like the later.
