[KS] Fwd: High-quality pan-CJK typeface from Google+Adobe

[Frank Hoffmann]

Again many thanks to Charles Muller for the contact and forwarding of 
the issue to Ken Lunde at Adobe. I now tried the mentioned "OTC" 
version at the Sourceforge website (not the Google site).
http://sourceforge.net/projects/source-han-sans.adobe/files/
--> SourceHanSansOTC-1.000.zip
That works as described by Ken Lunde in the earlier quoted email (and 
the brief Readme text), however, it does NOT fix the problem!

The RESUME for me, thus far:  These fonts do NOT work on a Mac with the 
latest OS and MS Word.
Koreanists working on Windows or Linux systems may want to keep that in 
mind when exchanging files with others using Macs, or with publishers 
that use Adobe InDesgin or other design software (which many publishers 
run on Macs). There may be all kind of problems coming in then. 

If these new Noto Sans CJK (rsp. Gotik CJK, if downloaded at 
Sourceforge) fonts are not installed on a receiving computer, they will 
automatically be replaced by e.g. Batang/바탕, if you have that 
installed -- and that is fine and should work as a kind of basic 
solution. But for any sort publishing related tasks I'd be extremely 
careful, unless you know exactly what your publisher is going to use. 

Best,
Frank
