Exporting as Microsoft XPS (XML Paper Specification)
This is an entirely new "page description" file format invented by Microsoft. Designed for
Vista, this is also supported on older versions of Windows by getting a free download.
The benefit of XPS format is that it is vector based, and so is ideal as a resolution-
independent portable document format. Fonts are embedded into the document and so
you are ensured very high quality WYSIWYG documents. If you’re using Windows Vista,
you can view and print these documents directly. If you’re using older versions of
Windows, you can obtain a free XPS Viewer download from the Microsoft website,
enabling the viewing and printing of these files.

It should be noted that the Xara XPS export does not use the Microsoft standard XPS
print system, but writes XPS files directly, which ensures far higher fidelity and far smaller
XPS files.
XPS supports advanced vector features such as transparency, CMYK colors and
embedded fonts.

XPS export dialog

Font Subset: Any fonts used in your document are automatically embedded into the XPS
document to enable the viewer to correctly display all text. Selecting this option embeds
fonts containing only those characters used in the document. This can significantly
reduce the XPS file size.
