dviout didn't come to my mind, and I don't use dviout so testing is
difficult for me. However, good news:
I tested with r44032, and found that removing the ones in Resource/Init
is enough, because ghostscript can read lib/cidfmap and lib/Fontmap.
So, please remove Resource/Init/cidfmap and Resource/lib/Fontmap.
Then, I can adjust cjk-gs-integrate to work with lib/cidfmap.
And, one more comment: current lib/cidfmap has
%EOF
with no new line at the end of file. Our cjk-gs-integrate has to parse
this file, and that will become much easier if there is a new line.
All the best,
