"El Capitan" (10.11) follows <br>the present "Yosemite." Unless you hear otherwise and have confirmed <br>that below issues have been fixed, I strongly suggest to wait with any <br>update -- that is, if you also use Han'gŭl and Hanja in your texts.<br><br>I have not see the FINAL release, only the last pre-release (last <br>public beta). But there is no indication, no note anywhere that these <br>issues are fixed.<br><br>In many of your programs (applies to all Microsoft Office programs such <br>as MS Word, both MS Word for Mac 2011 and the new Word 2016) you <br> (a) get problems writing more than one syllable in Han'gŭl ... the 2nd <br>syllable will of a word will show some bogus letters (so you have to <br>delete that, and re-write that 2nd syllable as if it where the first of <br>a word)<br> (b) Hanja does not work at all in MS Word and Office programs (and <br>many other programs) <br> (c) when opening an existing text with Han'gŭl and/or Hanja and then <br>save that (e.g. after an edit), you will find irreversible <br>(un-correctable), unwanted spaces after NUMBERS; for example: "2015 年" <br>instead of "2015年"<br><br>In other older and very new program versions this all works fine, but <br>as I mentioned, not so in MS Word, Excel, and others. It may thus be a <br>smart idea to wait with any OS update until you know this has been <br>fixed.<br><br><br>Best,<br>Frank<br><br><br>--------------------------------------<br>Frank Hoffmann<br><a href="http://koreanstudies.com">http://koreanstudies.com</a></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
