Hi guys,
Maybe this post has gone too far, and I've tried a bunch of methods to get my map work. Anyway, I can't. And there's something I must say, why pdftex must embed the whole otf file? It's about 15M for my only-one-character test file and about 20M for my another only-two-characters test file, besides, embedding otf files are so so slow. I don't think I'm ready for otf yet.
I tried the Song font from Adobe a few days ago with XeTeX and a older chinese example text from you and the file size with 37 pages of output was a little bit over 1 MB, the same result with luaTeX but I got more pages. Wolfgang
