Korean Font For Google Mac Operating Systems

The Windows and Mac operating systems have basic Korean fonts activated by default, which will display Korean texts.

This article is for those who wish to input Korean characters occasionally, while keeping the primary language of the computer as English.

Converting your computers entire user interface into Korean involves a different procedure, which will not be covered by this article.

The Windows and Mac operating systems offer a Korean keyboard option, which you can implement in a few simple steps.

With this feature activated, you can switch back and forth between English and Korean as you type, even at mid-sentence.

Implementing this option changes little in your computers user interface (the only difference you will notice is a tiny icon showing up in your taskbar), and you can deactivate the feature at any time.

In the Korean mode, your keyboard will work as shown in the large figure at the top of this article.

All the consonants are entered by the left hand; all the vowels (except the one colored red in the figure) are entered by the right hand.

The shift keys are used only for five compound consonants (shift Q, W, E, R and T keys) and two compound vowels (shift O and P keys).

If your operating system is Windows 10, stay on this page -- the implementation steps are shown below.

For other operating systems, make a selection in the box to move to the appropriate page.

Select Time Language.

In the left panel, select Language.

Note: The current illustration is made with the May 2019 release of Windows 10 (version 1903, build 18362).

If your Windows 10 is an earlier release, the interface may differ slightly.

For example, the left panel may have Region Language rather than a separate Language entry.

Click the sign next to Add a preferred language.

Adding Korean as a preferred language by following the steps below will not make Korean preferred over the existing default language (English).

Unless you make the extra efforts of manually moving the newly added language to a position higher than English (which this article will not show), Korean will be placed at a position less preferred than English, and the Korean keyboard will only perform auxiliary functions.

In the search box, type Korean, and hit the Enter key of your keyboard.

The Korean language option will appear below the search box.

Click Next. 6) There are 3 features that most of the readers of this article would never need.

Uncheck the options indicated in the picture (Install Language Pack; Text-to-speech; Handwriting).

Make sure that the top 4 features are unchecked.

Korean Font For Google Install Only The

You are going to install only the bottom 2 features (Basic typing and Optical character recognition), which are by default preselected and grayed out -- apparently obligatory installation requirements under this option.

During this installation step, it appears that some additional Korean fonts are also downloaded.

When you purchase a computer, the Windows operating system already comes with an adequate number of basic Korean fonts.

In this step, it appears that more Korean fonts are downloaded to give you a longer list of available Korean fonts.) 8) The implementation is now complete.

You will notice a tiny new icon (ENG) appearing in your taskbar, next to the clock.
