[WSG] Korean fonts
Can you please suggest a font stack suitable for a site that's entirely in Korean? I am assisting a student Web designer who is developing a site in Korean--a language with which I am entirely unfamiliar. Using a font stack out of Dreamweaver, none of which have any Korean glyphs AFAICT, browsers make their own choices, it seems. But IE's choice is a particularly ugly one... Many thanks for any help you can offer.

If most users are using Korean localised operating systems, then the range of core fonts that can be used in a font stack is quite large. For users suing a non-Korean OS, the choice of fonts are limited. And you'd take into account variation in fonts across OS versions.

It's what we use for our Korean site; when we put it on I did a little research on the top Korean sites, and those selections (the first one is 'Dotum' in Korean) are common across many of the top Korean-language websites. - Matthew *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
