[KS] Mac Users / Korean: WARNING! (Update to OS X El Capitan)

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).
