Hi everyone,
Thank you guys for the prompt replies and discussions.
As Werner stated, dvipdfmx get the information of the Chinese
TrueType font from the file cid-x.map located in
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx/
I did add the font information in cid-x.map when I add the Chinese
TrueType font bkai00mp.ttf. However, I did not state this explicitly
in my original mail. My fault.
In a word, dvipdfmx does not read the Chinese TrueType font
information from dvipdfm_dl14.map at all. The correction of the
updmap-sys behavior is still in need.
To avoid bombarding the list member with the map files, I will mail
them to Karl in a separate, private e-mail.
On a related note: currently, on my MacTeX-2007 (yes, it is
TeXLive2007 from tug), cid-x.map can only reside in
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx/
and
home texmf
to be effective. If I place a copy (with newly added font
information) in texmf-local, it has no effect. "kpsewhich cid-x.map"
command placed in the terminal will only show
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx/
even as a copy (my addition) is present in texmf-local.
To work around this apparent bug, I currently modify the file in that
visible location, rather than to place my copy in texmf-local.
Thanks.

I don't understand. If you delete <fontname.ttf, then how can
dvipdfmx
know what font to include?
The lprr8v line in dvipdfm_dl14.map on my system does have <pala.ttf.
I think the best solution is to have updmap-sys to generate a
correct
dvipdfm_dl14.map regarding the Chinese truetype font.
Certainly true. Can you send me the actual map file which works, and
the actual map file which doesn't work? Otherwise it's difficult
to say
what change is needed. Of course, a patch to updmap would be even
better :).
Thanks,
Karl
P.S. I also don't exactly understand why the lprr entries are in
the map
files at all, but that's another matter.
P.P.S. I really wish all the programs could get together on one map
file
syntax, but that's another matter too.
