Embed fonts in XeLaTeX PDF output?

Question

How do I embed fonts in XeLaTeX's PDF output?

I am printing directly onto my printer, which requires PDF, EPS or PS input with embedded fonts.

I've used XeLaTeX for a document which when I open it in Adobe Reader shows that a subset of the font is already embedded. So I think it should be already happening for your document. Just check it in the File->Properties->Fonts settings.

Fonts subset embedded already.

Actually I tried printing it just after reading this and found that it printed just fine! - Thank you XeLaTeX! :D – A T Sep 05 '13 at 10:29
As mentionned in this post (for PDFLaTeX), there might still be a problem if you insert images in pdf without embedded fonts. – Luc M Dec 29 '14 at 17:33
I would like to have the font embed fully. – Frederick Nord Jun 04 '22 at 09:39

I wonder why they don't make this easier to do.

Here is a solution to embedding fonts after you compiled the PDF file:

open your pdf file,
select file -> print
set your printer to be Adobe printer (assuming you already installed it)
click on properties
click the tab "Adobe PDF Settings"
uncheck "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts"
click on the Edit... after Default Settings
click on Fonts, add those missing fonts to "Always Embed" (It is recommended to save the properties as a new setting.)
print the pdf file with the new settings, and your new pdf file should be good to go.

Tip: when (or if) it asks you to save the PDF settings file, save it in the suggested Adobe settings folder

You don't have to do any of this; XeLaTeX embeds (subsetted) fonts by default (as the accepted answer says). — ShreevatsaR, Oct 29 '16 at 16:39
