Hi Chen,

can't you ue XeTeX or LuaTeX for your document instead of pdfTeX,
it will be easier for you because you don't need tfm and map files
and you need only the typescripts.
I don't know, but in this case, I don't want to embed fonts, I don't know how LuaTeX can do that but it runs really slow on my ancient PC, especially on the first time when it's generating font cache.

pdfTeX can use OpenType fonts and you don't have to convert them
into TrueType format.
I convert it to ttf only because I want the tfm files, I can't find there's a tool that can to otf2tfm. And then I deleted the ttf and the otf fonts because I don't want to embed them so I don't need them any more.
