The option -E in Jonathan's suggestion

   xelatex -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -q -E" myfile.tex

tells precisely to always embed fonts. xdvipdfmx has apparently no  
man page, but on the command line you can get:

> $ xdvipdfmx
> No dvi filename specified.
> This is xdvipdfmx-0.3 by Jonathan Kew and Jin-Hwan Cho,
> an extended version of DVIPDFMx, which in turn was
> an extended version of dvipdfm-0.13.2c developed by Mark A. Wicks.
