Subject: about address
 Hi there
Did you get any information about address of G*** company at CA?
If so, do they use 2 combinational hangul font or any other?
You have to be careful if that company is not koreans'.
It is because any american does not know which type (2-combi, or 3-combi)
is easier.
I had a bad experience to buy korean font in america.
One company made korean font for ms windows (true type).
But, it was really hard to use the fonts, just because I have to push keyboard 1
5 times to make just one character.
  
 COMMENT)  According to a posting in Korean BBS, 
           "Han-Me Hangul for Window 2.0(?)" is known as a good 
	   product in Korea, since it can be used with most English Window
	   applications in English Window. Its price is around 70,000 Won.

I'm not sure about the address but there are Hangul
fonts for the US System.  I happen to have them but
I purcahsed them from MacConnection for about
$80 (US) so try giving them a call.
I don't have their phone number so pick up a
MacUser or MacWorld.

The only company that I know of that does this is:
Ecological Linguists
Box 15156
Washington DC, 20003

 COMMENT) I have seen how this system works and I do not recommand this
 	      font.  Inputting is very uneffective.

You also can also purchase them from MacConnection for about $80.
I believe they're Postscript type 3 fonts.  They are somewhat limited
since some third party company in Washington created them.
