Well, this would be my last alternative (or try) if I find no other 
solution.

I think the limitation to non-accented Latin-1 chars would be no problem.
Modern Greek restriction also sounds OK, but I should ask that the Greek 
Office first.
However...

Lot thanks for the ideas and the sample.
I played a little bit with it but I've some problems.


1.) I couldn't get the \pdfbookmarks working with it. Should 
\pdfbookmarks with mixed characters work also with CJK ?
2.) I got errors with:
\DeclareFontFamily{T1}{song}{}
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{song}{m}{n}{<-> cyberb00}{}
\renewcommand\rmdefault{song}
and disabled them for testing. Is this the reason why I only get "the 
bad" Type3 fonts in the output ?


Thanks a lot for your help
