[KS] Middle Korean fonts

[King, Ross]

Hi James:

The fonts I find best for Middle Korean are:

NanumMyeongjoOTF YetHangul
NanumBarunGothic YetHangul
Noto

The NanumMyeongjo is quite good for both web-based use and word-processing.
Some publishers are moving to Noto as a kind of all-purpose font that covers both modern and premodern Korean spellings, as well as a robust repertoire of sinographs, but I haven't used it much. Perhaps others on the list can share their experience with Noto?

[CAUTION: Non-UBC Email]

Dear All,

At the risk of irritating people with a recurring question, I venture to send this today.

I'm using MS Microsoft. I am trying to set Middle Korean with a publisher, which is a very rare thing for me to do. They use Batang for all Korean, but Batang doesn't seem to produce Middle Korean. I can use the world's tiniest soft keyboard with IME input for Middle Korean, and it produces what I want, but in Malgun Gothic.

Is this as good as it gets?

Yours,

Jay Lewis
