Korean typeface
Malgun Gothic (Korean: ; RR: ) is a Korean sans-serif typeface developed by Sandoll Communications, with hinting by Monotype Imaging, as a replacement of Dotum and Gulim as the default system font for the Korean language. It was first shipped with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, being available to download later for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 users. The name "malgun" means "clear" in Korean, thus making a direct translation of the font's name "Clear Gothic."
Characteristics.
The font uses Segoe UI for Latin text, while the Korean glyphs are created based on the typeface of Hunminjeongeum, and streamlined with modern form of characters as well as upright and well-regulated strokes. The font supports KS X 1001 character set, but unlike Dotum and Gulim, there are no Han ideographic glyphs (Windows will pull from the Gulim hanja set instead) initially, and the fonts do not include half-width fixed Latin glyphs. There are hanja designed for Malgun Gothic by ChinaType Design, Monotype Imaging Inc. and they were released when Windows 8 released. The glyphs aren't rounded at the terminals.
Windows Vista includes two roman weights of the font.
Windows 10 changed glyph characteristics.
Incompatibilities.
In contrast to Segoe UI, Malgun Gothic does not display the backslash \ typographical mark correctly. While Segoe UI renders the backslash mark as expected, Malgun Gothic displays the symbol ₩ of the South Korean Won instead.
