Adobe-CNS1-4 was revised in early 2002 to add those three additional 
characters. Their CIDs are 18962 through 18964. The Adobe-CNS1-4, 
UniCNS-UTF*-*, HKscs-B5-*, and ETHK-B5-* CMap files were updated 
accordingly. They should be at:

We currently have no plans to add the glyphs for the minority scripts. If 
we do, they would likely become Adobe-GB1-5. Almost 2,000 glyphs are 
required, according to our findings.
