Finally I understood why Volovich mentioned CMap files on his talk at
TUG2003.

I am happy to hear that there is another package which uses CMap files, and
I really miss that
I could not have any chance to talk with him.

In fact, CMap file is a kind of an encoding file so that the location
texmf/tex/latex/cmap/ does not
look good for the exact place.

I cannot assure that enc, CMap, and sfd files are put under texmf/fonts/.
But we need some other
place than the current TEXPSHEADERS to put those encoding files together.
The place
texmf/fonts/ was Thomas' idea and I agree with him. If so, ENCFONTS,
CMAPFONTS, SFDFONTS
will be used instead of TEXPSHEADERS or TEXINPUT.

Best, ChoF.
