The NanumMyeongjo is quite good for both web-based use and word-processing. </div>

Some publishers are moving to Noto as a kind of all-purpose font that covers both modern and premodern Korean spellings, as well as a robust repertoire of sinographs, but I haven't used it much. Perhaps others on the list can share their experience with Noto? </div>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Dear All,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">At the risk of irritating people with a recurring question, I venture to send this today.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">I'm using MS Microsoft. I am trying to set Middle Korean with a publisher, which is a very rare thing for me to do. They use Batang for all Korean, but Batang doesn't seem to produce Middle Korean. I can use the world's
tiniest soft keyboard with IME input for Middle Korean, and it produces what I want, but in Malgun Gothic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Is this as good as it gets?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Yours,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Jay Lewis</span></p>
