You can also use the following Korean fonts for pure Hangul between the SO and SI characters with no intermediate ASCII (0x20) characters.

Creating Composite Korean Fonts

You can create composite fonts using one Roman font and one of the following Korean fonts.

Kodig-Medium-COMB-H
Kodig-Medium-COMB-V
Myeongjo-Medium-COMB-H
Myeongjo-Medium-COMB-V

For example, the following PostScript code defines a sample composite font. The ASCII characters of the Times-Italic+Kodig-Medium font are combined with the Korean characters of the Kodig-Medium horizontal font.

/Times-Italic+Kodig-Medium
13 dict begin
				/FontName 1 index def
				/FMapType 4 def
				/Encoding [ 0 1 ] def
				/WMode 0 def
				/FontType 0 def
				/FontMatrix [1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0] def
				/FDepVector [
								/Times-Italic findfont
								/Kodig-Medium-COMB-H findfont
				] def
currentdict
end
definefont pop

Using Korean Fonts in DPS Programming

You can use Korean fonts just as you use Roman fonts in DPS wrap definitions. This sample code creates the display which follows.

defineps PSWDisplayText(char *text)
			/pointSize 50 def
			/Helvetica pointSize selectfont
			(Hello World) stringwidth pop 2 div neg 0 moveto
			(Hello World) show

			/cpSize 40 def
			/Kodig-Medium-KO cpSize selectfont
			(text) stringwidth pop 2 div neg pointSize neg moveto
			(text) show
endps

You can set PSWDisplayText in a C program to display the designated Korean text.

Window shows the text Hello World in English and in Korean characters.
