Well, I'm familiar with CJK stuff to some extent but not
so familiar with PDF stuff so I'm not sure but it would be
good to submit this to pdftex upstream.
What I'm not sure are;
Chung, is it standard to use CJK-LaTeX to support CJK for
pdftex and/or pdflatex? At least in Japan, CJK-LaTeX is
not standard yet and many users will feel it not so good
way to support Japanese, I guess.
What is the most clear difference between subsetted and
not subsetted fonts? I know a difference between embedded
and not embedded but, to tell the truth, I didn't know
the notion of subsetted.

It is necessary to install cjk-latex (perhaps you did already)
and tfm-arphic-bsmi00lp (did you?), but with these only it might
be used PK fonts so you need to creat /etc/texmf/updmap.d/20mymap.cfg
with a content "Map arphic.map", run
update-updmap ; updmap --outputdir /etc/texmf/dvips

In a restricted sense, this bug might be not known by pdftex
developers but it would be known that generally pdftex/pdflatex
at present doesn't support CJK well.
