Seen.  I'm inhaling this section again, as I seem to have forgotten
much of what it contains.

You know, if I'd thought about it hard enough I probably would have
figured this out.  Thanks for the answer.

And agree with you on 'HW'.  But that raises the question of why
Hankaku is listed as its own CMap...

I'm awaiting a response from him.

I'll try this.

I did some hunting around and noticed the file (which I should have
seen before) 'cid2code.txt' which gives a short explanation of some of
the CMaps.  It also points to Adobe's developer docs and I'm just now
snarfing a bunch of PDFs with promising titles like "Adobe-Japan1-4
Character Collection for CID-Keyed Fonts" and "Adobe CJK Character
Collections and CMaps for CID-Keyed Fonts".

I'll report back in a little while once I've digested these.  The url
to them is:

Enjoy.
