Neil:
PostScript has two different ways to handle composite
(double byte) fonts: OCF fonts (characters are structured
hierarchycally, in many files ) and CID (unique file containing
all the glyphs, or char shapes, identified by a unique ID).
CMaps are the mechanism (or PS resource) that maps the
character codes to the glyph selectors in the CIDFont (in
this case, the unique CID. The CMaps also specifies the
subset of a character collection to be used (char set), and
imposes and encoding on that subset.
CMaps are only used with double-byte fonts,
you do not need them if you are not dealing with those
languages using them (Chinese(2), Japanese, Korean).

Ignacio
