(Or, maybe a sophisticated LaTeX user knows what is wrong?) I suppose you've already considered using XeTeX? I've got this in my style files, and it Just Works. I suppose there's more tweaking that could be done, but I haven't had to bother so far: \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage[indentfirst=false]{xeCJK} \setCJKmainfont{AR PL New Kai} Of course, using XeTeX isn't always an option...
