Hi all, I'll note Scribus can support Korean encoding.

Un-series fonts (a new set of Korean fonts) (Jungshik Shin) --__--__-- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 12:24:19 +0900 (KST) From: Jungshik Shin <[email protected]> To: fonts at XFree86.Org cc: GTK I18N list <gtk-i18n-list at gnome.org> Reply-To: fonts at xfree86.org Subject: [Fonts] Un-series fonts (a new set of Korean fonts) Hi, This is to inform the Linux community and the open source community (and distribution builders) of new sets of Korean truetype fonts, Un-series fonts (GPL'd) made available thanks to UN Koaunghi (who painstakingly scanned, converted to outlines and hand-hinted them all) and PARK Won-Kyu. They're originally made as PS fonts to use with Korean TeX/LaTeX/OmegaLambda (HLaTeX [1]) by UN Koaunghi in the late 1990's. Recently, PARK Won-kyu converted them to truetype fonts and added GSUB tables to one of them (UnBatang) for the full support of Korean script with Korean letters (Hangul Jamos : U+1100). They're available at the moment at (will be available as well later somewhere at http://kldp.net/prjects/....) http://chem.skku.ac.kr/~wkpark/project/font/GSUB (UnBatang with GSUB) http://chem.skku.ac.kr/~wkpark/project/font/UnFonts (the rest of the series) Advantages over Baekmuk fonts (included in most Linux distributions) are: - they come in 7 families : UnBatang(serif), UnDotum(sans-serif), UnGungseo(cursive, brush-stroke), UnPilgi (script), UnShinmun, UnYetgul (a bit like 'Frankfurt' ? and old Korean printing style), UnBom, UnGraphic - wider character repertoire : covers the fullset of Latin-1 as well as the full set of precomposed Hangul syllables, and Chinese characters in KS X 1001 - three of them come in bold as well as in regular (no need to tinker with 'artificial bolding') - one of them (UnBatangOdal) has GSUB tables for pre-1933 orthography Korean text rendering with Korean letters (Hangul Jamos).
