There's no Korean driver, unfortunately. No body has worked on the Korean driver, AFAIK. There's no problem to see a Korean manpages in hanterm with LESSCHARSET=latin1; but we can't print Korean man pages. But this solution looks good. I believe it's applicable to Korean. To apply this solution to Korean, Korean native driver should be made first. -- Changwoo Ryu
