I vaguely remember adobe offering some CID Japanese fonts. In an old
mail I wrote:

One bit of hope for future. Adobe has come up with a new method,
called CID, if memory serves, for handling various encodings that is
supposed to be much faster, and as a demonstration, to used the
Wadalab fonts.  Ghostscript does not yet support this, though someone
has. See gs_cidfn.ps in the gs distribution if your interested.
