Standard CJK font packs

[Carlos Villegas <ca...@uniscope.co.jp>]

Hi,

Adobe provides some standard font packs for JCK for download from their
site. In case of japanese, I provides 2 fonts, one equivalent to a serif
type and another to sans-serif. I think these also correspond to the 2
standard japanese fonts that any japanese postscript printer provides.
My point is, that maybe we can pregenerate the metrics and include them
in FOP distribution, setting FOP NOT to embed those fonts. Japanese
Acrobat reader and any other version of Acrobat reader with the J font
pack will have those fonts. Many people are trying to embed japanese
fonts for basic japanese display. Currently, Adobe provides those fonts
for use with the Reader software in OpenType format for all platforms
(Unix or Windows). As I understand the metrics for those two fonts are
very stable and japanese versions of TeX just produce postscript that
assume the printer will have those fonts.
