For jisx0212.1990-0.enc and gb2312.1980-0.enc, FIRSTINDEX should be
be '0x20 0x20'. For gbk-0.enc, it appears to have to be
'0x81 0x40'.

  Is it an requirement in matrix encodings or optional? If it's required
(which seems to be the case given that you asked someone to fix that)
could you tell me where it's required and how it's used.

  Currently RedHat 7.x's ship font encoding files with FIRSTINDEX lines
commented out.  They do that because ttmkfdir(included in RedHat 7.x
and used to generate fonts.scale file) refuses to process any font
encoding file with FIRSTINDEX. I filed a bug report on this along with
a patch to ttmkfdir in RedHat bugzilla because I thought it's not
font encoding files but ttmkfdir that has to be fixed. For details,
see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61769
