Interestingly when I asked GPT-4o (at least that's what it said it was):

>According to the instructions, which UnicodeCIDFont fonts should be used when generating PDFs?

It replies:

>When generating PDFs using reportlab for East Asian languages, you must use specific UnicodeCIDFont fonts depending on the language. According to the instructions, use the following:

>Korean: HeiseiMin-W3 or HeiseiKakuGo-W5 or HYSMyeongJo-Medium

>Simplified Chinese: STSong-Light

>Traditional Chinese: MSung-Light

>These fonts must be registered using pdfmetrics.registerFont(UnicodeCIDFont(font_name)) and applied to all text elements in the PDF when outputting those languages.

This list also has the Japanese fonts merged with the Korean list.
