Since we are at it (apologies to the Windows users):
That great new set of fonts that Charles Muller had made us aware of
more than a year ago, the pan-CJK fonts from Google and Adobe. These
had, as pointed out then, spacing problems on Macs. But I just noted,
under the new OS X El Capitan that is not anymore the case (EXCEPT for
the earlier listed NUMBER + Han'gŭl/Hanja case -- but that's due to a
problem with the El Capitan OS and applies to all CFK fonts).
These fonts are certainly a great replacement of Batang, as they have a
slicker design and include a larger number of characters.
This latest version is from JUNE 2015 (you may want to uninstall an
earlier version, if installed, using "FontBook" in your Applications
folder):

I suggest using the "All-in-one CJK super OTC font" (easiest to
install).
Download listing of each font as single install package:
