space is cheap.
Well, it depends on how much space we are talking about. We have
the continuing problem of the CD space limitation.
But in this case I imagine the files are small, so even hundreds of
duplicates is doable. What's a bit of drag is maintaining the copies.
font `foo' there exists a ToUnicode cmap `foo.cmap'
If there was more structure in the name, perhaps the copies could be
avoided. Eg, make the subfont names be things like c10-17.cmap. Then
for a font name foo-bar, dvipdfmx can first try foo-bar.cmap, then (if
there is a dash in the name) try foo.cmap.
Or it could just try try stripping chars off one at a time, if changing
the names is not feasible: c1017.cmap, c101.map, c10.cmap.
Do pdftex and CJK play together or is that not an issue at this point?
P.S. Hirata just released another dvipdfmx tarball, I'll try to get it
in ASAP.
