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.
