Gulim-Che which is similar to the Haru Japanese font but with Korean characters. If you are only using Korean, than just download the Gulim-che font. It will be faster as it uses less memory. Expand it to your <code>\/boot\/home\/config\/fonts\/ttfonts<\/code> directory.<br \/>\n You now have to change Font preferences and select Gulim-che for both normal and regular. I have yet to find a monospaced font for Japanese and Korean. Even Haru Regular which is monospaced doesn&#8217;t show up under the monotype font choices. Email me if you know of a CJK monospace font that is selectable.<br \/>\n Only applications that you open after this will have these new fonts. So you&#8217;ll have to close all applications (including, Deskbar and Tracker) and restart them for the font options to take effect.<br \/>\n<b>Korean Input Method<\/b><br \/>\n You now need to get the Korean input method <a href=\"ftp:\/\/cat1.snut.ac.kr\/pub\/BeOS\/HanBe20a.zip\">HanBe<\/a>. There is an English readme so installation should be easy. I had a kernel debug screen come up on the first reboot, but that disappeared on the second reboot. It has not happened again so I&#8217;m crossing my fingers it was an isolated incident.<br \/>\n<b>CJK Netpositive<\/b><br \/>\n Lucky for us, Takayuki Ito has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bebits.com\/app\/1329\">patched Netpositive<\/a> to allow it to read Chinese, Japanese and Korean pages.<br \/>\n<b>Korean Text Editor<\/b> You will now be able to type and read Korean in any UTF-8 unicode encoded document or email message. However a lot of Korean fonts are encoded in EUC_KR encoding. Fortunately, there is patched version of <a href=\"tp:\/\/cat1.snut.ac.kr\/pub\/BeOS\/HKEdit.zip\">KEdit<\/a> called HKEdit which supports this encoding.<br \/>\nSince you can now browse in Korean, you can browse the pages at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bekrage.com\">Korean BeOS user group BeKrage<\/a>, for further info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To add Korean character and input support for BeOS there are a few things you need: Korean Fonts These are two fonts you can grab from ftp:\/\/cat1.snut.ac.kr\/pub\/BeOS\/fon ts\/: Cyberbit, which is a unicode font that will also allow you to read Japanese and Chinese fonts.
