Yes, you just need to pass the -papersize argument. (Sorry, I haven't 
yet implemented a mechanism that can be controlled from within the TeX 
source.)

Yup.

Looked like it was caused by a double-quoted font name used for XeTeX 
getting another set of double-quotes placed around it. I seem to 
remember something along these lines came up previously. One thing I 
think I added in XeTeX was the option to use (...) as an alternative to 
"..." or '...' to quote font names.

Dalyoung, if you change

  \definefontsynonym[smMyungjoRegular]["smMyungjoR\space 
W30"][encoding=uc]

to

  \definefontsynonym[smMyungjoRegular][(smMyungjoR\space 
W30)][encoding=uc]

(and similarly for other cases with double-quotes), this may help that 
particular problem.
