Frank, et. al.

"Koreanists" might also find Naver's 'Nanum Gothic' (나눔 고딕) font
family useful to add to their systems. It looks very nice both on
screen and in print:   http://hangeul.naver.com

For example, I find 'Nanum Gothic Coding' to be extremely legible for
adding phonetic guides/ruby text to language glosses in Microsoft
Word.
