Make the font selection more exact (to give you an idea):

	\newfontfamily\cjkfont[ItalicFont=HiraKakuPro- 
W3,ItalicFeatures={RawFeature=+ital},BoldItalicFont=HiraKakuPro- 
W6,BoldItalicFeatures={RawFeature=+ital},BoldFont={HiraMinPro-W6}] 
{HiraMinPro-W3}

Get yourself an intel based Mac (to be able to run virtual instances  
of other operating systems) and install Leopard (Tiger is too old,  
Snow Leopard uses a proprietary font format). When running some  
Solaris, BSD, Linux you might be able to use the Hoefler fonts. Maybe  
it works to copy them from the bought Mac OS 10.5.4 (best price) DVD  
with its install packages. Or just buy them, if available.
