No.CJK characters fonts are TTF.So,you needn't to copy any Type1 fonts.Just
use which you have installed in you system.
BTW:fonts.dir of GB2312/ has different format against fonts.dir of
Abisuite/fonts/. If you doesn't familiar with it,I can send a style
to you.

I have post the solution of the copy&paste Chinese characters.
Now the only problem is why AW like always put Chinese characters
ahead of English characters after copy&paste even the original
string has the opposite sequence?Does AW like Chinese characters
much more than English characters? :-) Anyway,this is a bad habit.
I am still working on this.
