Can one:
	- use CIDFont and CMap on "standard" (Latin script ;-) ) fonts?

	- create custom CID/CMap stuff on the fly (you know what the
problems in dia are...) and embed the thing into EPS

Could you give me a couple pointers on that CID stuff? (this is really a
dark corner -- most PS information sites I know about barely cover level
1...)

I'm not too concerned about demanding gs-cjk -- hasn't Ghostscript 7.?? been
re-released as GNU Ghostscript recently?
