Reason for this is CDROM space efficiency only -- remember that the
default setup for most of the FD files in the CJK package is for
TeXLive fonts.

Yes, I think so, because those fonts have separate designs. This
creates many, many files :-)

I don't understand this question. The file UTF8/c70mj.fd should look
like this
...
\DeclareFontShape{C70}{mj}{m}{n}{<-> CJK * uwmj}{}
...
\DeclareFontShape{C70}{mj}{b}{n}{<-> CJK * uwmjb}{}
...
if you add real bold fonts.

Of course it is possible, but I don't see a reason for it. Why do you
need that?

Those are the VF files coming with the original font package. It
seems that Koaung-Hi's scripts aren't perfect :-) I think those
messages are harmless -- perhaps you can report those minor problems
to him.

This is a serious bug in my script. It can only handle fonts which
have the same name stem. Since wgt05.vf and wgt06.vf use umj04, it
fails. I wasn't aware that `gothic' depends on `myoungjo' :-(
I don't have time currently to work on this. Fixes are welcome (but
this is non-trivial, I fear).
