Okay, I've tried it: rkuhn$ cat opticals.tex \font\1="Kepler Std" at 9pt\1 Hallo Welt! \font\2="Kepler Std" at 12pt\2 Hallo Welt! \font\3="Kepler Std" at 14pt\3 Hallo Welt! \font\4="Kepler Std" at 24pt\4 Hallo Welt! \end rkuhn$ xetex opticals This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9997.4 (TeX Live 2010) entering extended mode (./opticals.tex [1] ) Output written on opticals.pdf (1 page). Transcript written on opticals.log. rkuhn$ cat opticals.log This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9997.4 (TeX Live 2010) (format=xetex 2010.9.29) 3 OCT 2010 11:08 entering extended mode %&-line parsing enabled. **opticals (./opticals.tex [1] ) Output written on opticals.pdf (1 page). Acrobat Reader tells me that (subsets of) CMR10 and KeplerStd-Regular are the only two embedded fonts.
