Please do! If you know what the correct steps are to activate a new
map file, please modify this... I don't think the texconfig route
(which comes up with a menu where I select REHASH and then SHOW
CONFIGURATION) is correct. But if I don't do that, then updmap-sys
--enable Map msgoth.map does not find the map.

Yes...I don't know what encoding is supposed to be used here. Reading
the documentation does not make it clear to me yet what characters the
CJK package acts on.

Hmm, I thought \begin{CJK}{UTF8}{} decided what encoding to use. Now I
am even more confused. Back to reading documentation...
