Okay, I've tried it:
rkuhn$ cat opticals.tex
\font\1="Kepler Std" at 9pt\1
Hallo Welt!
\font\2="Kepler Std" at 12pt\2
Hallo Welt!
\font\3="Kepler Std" at 14pt\3
Hallo Welt!
\font\4="Kepler Std" at 24pt\4
Hallo Welt!
\end
rkuhn$ xetex opticals
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9997.4 (TeX Live 2010)
entering extended mode
(./opticals.tex [1] )

Acrobat Reader tells me that (subsets of) CMR10 and KeplerStd-Regular are the
only two embedded fonts.
