[Cjk] other strange bibtex related errors (Big 5)

[Markus GMX]

Dear Werner, dear CJK-friends!
Thanks a lot again for your help and especially for your updated script!!!

 And also thanks a lot for your hints about the uncovered characters.
Sorry for this stupid question, but I don't know how to regenerate the
necessary type 1 subfonts, I've never done anything like this. So far I
was just a LaTeX user... I've found and downloaded bsmi001p.ttf on the
web. Any hints what to do or what documentation to read are warmly welcomed.

best wishes
Markus

P.S.: I will forward your attached file to the Miktex maintainer.
