[KS] Re: Using han'gul fonts

[Joshua Margolis]

I think Unionway is really designed for Chinese rather than Korean or
Japanese. I never really thought it was a very good choice for adding
Han'gul support.

I did want to add one thing, though, in case anyone was considering it as
an option. Assuming there has been no update since version 3.0b, do NOT
purchase Hanme Hangul for Windows 95. It is not compatible with most
applications these days. The company has been aware of the problem for a
long time but seems either unwilling or (more likely) unable to do
anything about it since they never came up with an update to address the
issue. Personally, I don't see how they can still market the product in
good conscience, but they do. Just be aware that if you're using software
that's newer than four years old, Hanme Hangul probably won't work with
it. And even when it did work properly, it didn't support EUC-KR encoding,
just KSC wansung.
