After read the Type42 specification, yes, it is possible. The
thing is the type42 font has to be generated everytime at the
point of printing. I don't know how much time it take, but it
could be slow.
Another thing is that Type42 for CJK fonts are added to 2015
of postscript interpreter. I don't know if 2015 is old or new
but there are incompatible thing. I am not a big fan of backward
compatible myself. So this might not be a problem at all.
The last problem, write the code... :)
