[Cjk] problem with Japanese and TeXLive8 fixes

Some time ago in an urgent need for disk space I removed my working
but rather obsolete CJK LaTeX setup. Now I wanted to introduce some
changes to my paper

        http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/lookup.pdf?bug=145003&msg=7&att=1
        http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/lookup.tex?bug=145003&msg=7&att=2

and to my great disappointment I was unable to get working CJK LaTeX
again. I made several different attempts, including  the use of the 
Debian package prepared by Danai Sae-Han almost a year ago, and applying
the fixes from

        http://cjk.ffii.org/cjk/TeXLive8-CJK-fixes/

to TeXLive 2003.

In all cases I can generate and view correctly the dvi file, but dvips
and pdflatex are unable to find the Japanese fonts;

tl2003 at galicja:~/lookup$ dvips lookup.dvi -o lookup.ps
This is dvips(k) 5.94a Copyright 2003 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2005.01.04:1927' -> lookup.ps
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 dmjkata
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for dmjkata.

tl2003 at galicja:~/lookup$ pdflatex lookup.cjk 
...
Warning: pdflatex (file dmjkl): Font dmjkl at 600 not found

etc.

I solved the problem temporarily only and not fully satisfactorily (no
outlines fonts in PDF) by using ... TeXLive 6. Hence I am still
interested in a general solution, preferably Debian or TeXLive 2003
based.

I will appreciate very much your help.

Best regards

Janusz
