Adobe’s Source Han Sans or Source Han Serif (available for free on GitHub) is ideal. It covers Japan1, GB1, CNS1, and Korea1. CID = A number (0 to 65,535) mapping

If you are receiving an error message regarding these fonts or cannot edit a file because of them, try the following solutions: The "Print to PDF" trick: Open the file in a browser or basic PDF viewer like Mac Preview and choose Export as PDF Print to PDF

• CID = A number (0 to 65,535) mapping to a specific glyph shape.
• CMap = A mapping table that converts a character code (e.g., Shift-JIS) into a CID number.

The "Missing Font" Problem: If you see these names instead of actual font names, your software is likely substituting a default font (like Arial) to display the text. This often causes the text to look "broken," appear as dots, or fail to be editable. Common Solutions for CIDFont Errors

Hypothesis 1: Fallback Font Positions (Most Likely)

Many PDF viewers, ghostscript interpreters, and legacy RIPs (e.g., Harlequin RIP) maintain an internal fallback table when a requested font is unavailable. This table often lists generic CID fonts as:
