I don't know, but in this case, I don't want to embed fonts, I don't know
how LuaTeX can do that but it runs really slow on my ancient PC, especially
on the first time when it's generating font cache.

I convert it to ttf only because I want the tfm files, I can't find there's
a tool that can to otf2tfm. And then I deleted the ttf and the otf fonts
because I don't want to embed them so I don't need them any more.
