If I may comment, in the past we received a noticeable amount of complaints 
about Korean text not rendered in our IDEs on Windows. This was solved by 
installing Korean font pack, but relying on users always doing that by 
themselves doesn't seem to provide the best user experience. So, two years ago, 
in JetBrains Runtime we ended up replacing Gulim/GulimChe/Batang with Malgun 
Gothic. This works well for us so far. I understand that this approach can give 
worse results for users that do install Korean font pack. But, I believe, the 
'chaining' proposed by Naoto can actually be implemented, if desired - we just 
need to introduce a new 'category' to the properties file, say 
`korean_supplementary`. By putting it before `korean` in sequence definitions, 
we'll make e.g. Batang used if it's installed, and fall back to Malgun Gothic 
otherwise.
