Hi,
is there someone on this list who has tried korean with mkiv? next week taco and i travel to korea (user group meeting) so we'd better know how to do korean
Korean use the same rules for line breaking as chinese but spaces in the input are not removed and remain in the output.
Several month ago, I have tried Korean typesetting with MKIV, but the result was short of satisfactory one. These are minimum typesetting rule for Korean documents: ``Korean characters'' means here all Hangul Syllables (U+AC00 .. U+D7A3) plus Chinese Ideographs. - Spaces between words should be preserved, as Wolfgang said. - Linebreaking should be allowed between Korean characters. We prefer here \penalty50 or \discretionary{}{}{} rather than \hskip. - Linebreaking is allowed between Korean character and Latin character. We prefer here \hskip0pt to make possible hyphenations inside Latin word. - Kumchik (``Kinsoku'' in Japanese) rule is the same as Chinese or Japanese typesetting: * Linebreaking should not occur after, for example, opening parentheses. * Linebreaking should not occur before, for example, closing parentheses, comma, or fullstop. That's all. Best, Dohyun Kim
