I’m hoping some kind soul here might be able to help me with this. I found some information at [http://webhard.daewoo.com/jsp/hangul.html#UseIME](http://webhard.daewoo.com/jsp/hangul.html#UseIME) and got the IME Korean package installed, but I’m not sure what to do next. I suppose I need a hangul font?
