I am posting this message to CJK mailing list, as requested by Danai SAE-HAN.
Information for CJK users who do not use debian: ko.tex font packages can be downloaded from http://ftp.ktug.or.kr/KTUG/ko.TeX/ko.tex-unfonts-base.tar.gz http://ftp.ktug.or.kr/KTUG/ko.tex/extrafonts/ko.tex-unfonts-extra.tar.gz http://ftp.ktug.or.kr/KTUG/ko.TeX/extrafonts/ko.tex-extra-hlfont.tar.gz 2008/3/8, "Danai SAE-HAN (韓達耐)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi! > > Op 20-02-08 21:51, schreef Dohyun Kim: > > > > latex-cjk-korean, newly migrated to testing, recommends ko.tex-extra-hlfont > > package which regrettably contains fonts rarely used in Korea. > > Instead, ko.tex-base package has Myoungjo, the standard Hangul font family. > > Though the package name "ko.tex-base" does not give any hint related to > fonts, > > it is actually ko.tex-fonts-base which has succeeded hlatex-fonts-base. > > > > So, recommendation by latex-cjk-korean should be changed to ko.tex-base. > > 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.

Now, I have modified all font definition files under CJK/KS/HLaTeX directory, plus c70mj.fd under CJK/UTF8 directory: http://people.ktug.or.kr/~nomos/mine/CJK_KOR_FD_compat_w_kotexfonts.tar.gz During this modification work, I found font family Vada is completely missing in ko.tex-extra-hlfonts. So I have substituted Gothic for Vada in c63vd.fd. However, I don't think it is a serious problem, because Vada is seldom used. In normal cases, using Myoungjo, Gothic, and Taza (and sometimes Graphic) is sufficient for Korean typesetting. So they are packaged as ko.tex-unfonts-base. I hope my rearrangement of fd files is acceptable to CJK users. Regards, Dohyun Kim
