CJK provides font maps for all of the HLaTeX fonts, including dinaru and
pilgia from ko.tex-extra-hlfonts and bom, gungseo, jamobatang, jamodotum,
jamonovel, jamosora, pen, penheulim, pilgi, shinmun and yetgul from 
ko.tex-extra.

I didn't check the package dependencies thoroughly; you're absolutely right.

So there are two options:
A) either I let latex-cjk-korean depend on ko.tex-base, ko.tex-extra and
ko.tex-extra-hlfonts;
B) or I split latex-cjk-korean into three, and let them each depend on the
respective font package.

Even though I think that option B is preferable (one of the reasons that you
don't have to install every large font package), I don't have much time right
now.  So in the meantime I'll go for option A.

That is an excellent idea!  Could you post this solution to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
which is the CJK mailing list?  I'm sure that Werner Lemberg, the author, and
the other package maintainers will be interested in this!


Best regards, and thanks for your valuable information!
