Asian and Central European font packs for Adobe Reader (for English version)

If the author of the PDF document uses CJK or CE fonts but does not embed them in the document, then the correct fonts will need to be installed in order to view the Adobe PDF file on non-native systems."
"Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.x users must download Asian font packs from this page. Adobe Reader 6.0 was the first version of Reader to download the correct font packs on demand, although they are offered on this page as well for users wishing to download them in advance."
