[XeTeX] Controlling font embedding in PDF output

[Originally sent to the TeXLive mailing list, but this list is not really appropriate for this question.] Is there a simple option to make XeTeX (or rather xdvipdfmx) not embed fonts in PDFs? I'm going to post-process the output, which will do the embedding. Werner ---

[XeTeX] not enough \XeTeXcharclass registers

[XeTeX 3.14159265-2.6-0.2 (TeX Live 2015)] Folks, I'm updating the `ucharclasses.sty' to completely cover Unicode. This style file maps Unicode character blocks to character classes, and I've hit the 256 entry limit of \XeTeXcharclass... Any chance to extend it to 16 bits? Werner
