This is funny because the following comment is from font-otf.lua -- han (chinese) (unfinished) -- this info eventually will go into char-def -- list by Zhichu Chen list of left and right delimiters for chinese You should try XeTeX for the moment and not LuaTeX, the first is as fast as pdfTeX while the second is currently not really usable for CJK. > > > I searched the mail list for a while and I got that if I didn't specify the > > > font file, it will not be embeded and Acrobat Reader will just use its > > > own fonts to show the characters. > > > > > > I want to make some Chinese documents and I think if I don't embed any > > > fonts, it will be much smaller than it used to be.

A opentype to tfm converter is included in the LCDF Typetools http://www.lcdf.org/type/index.html, I used for a short time in the past but use now the modern backends instead of pdfTeX. > > > uni-AdobeMingStd-Light-00 "Adobe Ming Std" " Unicode00Encoding > ReEncodeFont > > > " > > ================================ > > > I think the first column is for the tfm files, and I do get the > > > uni-AdobeMingStd-Light-00.tfm to uni-AdobeMingStd-Light-ff.tfm files.
