Dear Jiang Jiang,

In the case of dvipdfmx, we usually write in a map file,
cid-x.map for example, like
gbm  UniSourceHanSansJP-UTF16-H  SourceHanSansJP-Regular.otf
where gbm means a tfm:  gbm.tfm.

Yes, I understand that and had spent quite amount of time getting such
map file right, but I consider that approach less "XeTeX-like" as most
XeTeX documents / setup should just work out of the box without
tweaking in each TeX installation. The motivation for my initial patch
is to make such map files unnecessary.

Yes, that is less XeTeX-like.
In the case of XeTeX-xdvipdfmx, we cannot use the kind of map file
for OpenType fonts. That is, we cannot load OpenType fonts through tfm fonts.

Thanks,
Akira
