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

2007/12/13, Zhichu Chen : 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.

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.
