Thanks. I've checked Japanese fonts bundled to classic MacOS 9,
but I could not find any CID-keyed PostScript fonts.

Mac OS 9 had an extension named "Type 1 Scaler" which was Type1
rasterizer bundled to Mac OS 9 for ATSUI applications, but I don't
know it can handle CID-keyed fonts, and Apple had ever bundled any
PostScript fonts to classic MacOS. So, Tom, when you can remember
anything, please let me know.

Also I've checked the support to load sfnt-wrapped PS Type1 and
CID-keyed fonts in FreeType2. I could load sfnt-wrapped Japanese
CID-keyed fonts.

If it is different from a case I reported in:
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2008-09/msg00031.html
I'm interested in, please send me.
