About the Korean Language Kit

The Korean Language Kit contains all the software you need to work in
Korean on your computer. You can use your computer’s Korean capabilities in
two ways:

m If you have a Macintosh application program that has been localized for

use in Korean—such as SimpleText Korean—the menus, dialog boxes, help
messages, and other elements will be correctly displayed in Korean.

m You can enter English and Korean in a single document, using your Korean

application program or a non-Korean program that takes advantage of
Wo rldScript. (Your non-Korean program must be compatible with
Wo rldScript—including WorldScript II. If you’re not sure your program is
compatible with WorldScript, check with the program’s manufacturer.)

The Korean Language Kit includes:
m Power Input Method, a method for entering Hangul and Hanja from a

standard keyboard.

m Five GX-compatible TrueType fonts.
m WorldScript II, an extension to System 7 (version 7.1 or later) that enables

your system to handle very large character sets.

m SimpleText Korean.
m The Korean Language Register, a program that ensures your Korean

application programs display correctly, with Korean menus and dialog
boxes.

Requirements

The Korean Language Kit runs on any computer equipped with the
following:

m at least 5 megabytes of RAM (8 megabytes if you are using System 7.5 with

QuickDraw GX installed)

On a Power Macintosh with System 7.5 and QuickDraw GX, you must have
16 megabytes of RAM.

m Macintosh system software version 7.1 or later
m approximately 30 megabytes free on your hard disk if you plan to install all

5 of the Korean TrueType fonts, less if you install fewer TrueType fonts

m a 1.4 MB floppy disk drive or a CD-ROM drive

Installing the Korean Language Kit from the compact disc

Setting Up

Before you can use the Korean Language Kit, you need to do two things:
install the software and set your Views control panel to display Korean file
and folder names correctly on your screen.

If your computer has a CD-ROM drive, you can install the Korean Language
Kit from the Macintosh Korean Language Kit CD disc that came with your kit.
To use the CD-ROM for installation, follow the instructions in the next
section of this manual, “Installing the Korean Language Kit from Floppy
Disks.” The procedure is the same, but you won’t have to swap disks.
Everything you need is contained on the CD-ROM disc.

Installing the Korean Language Kit from floppy disks

There are two ways to install your kit. You can choose either
m an easy installation, which adds Korean language support and Seoul, Apple

Myungjo, and AppleGothic TrueType fonts to your system. You need at
least 20 megabytes of free space on your disk to do an easy installation.

m a custom installation if you want to do a minimal installation or you want

to choose which fonts to add to your system. If you have less than 20
megabytes free on your hard disk, or you want to install the Gungseoche
and Pilgiche fonts, do a custom installation.

The installation process automatically makes a backup copy of your System
Folder (to protect the contents during installation of the Korean Language
Kit). The backup copy uses approximately 3 megabytes of space on your hard
disk. This space is made available to you again after installation is completed.

Your Korean Language Kit includes 14 installation disks. Have these disks
ready before you begin.

computer is starting up.

Displaying Korean filenames correctly

When you add Korean to your computer, you may already have files and
folders with Korean names, or you may create some. If your primary script is
Roman (the script used for English, French, Spanish, and so on), you may
want to change your Views control panel so that your system can display
Korean filenames correctly.

You use the Views control panel to set the font for file and folder names. The
font your system currently uses may not be appropriate for Korean. For
example, many people use the Geneva font for file and folder names, but
Geneva only contains characters for English and other languages that use the
Roman character set (such as French, Spanish, and German).

The Seoul font contains Korean characters as well as the most commonly
used Roman characters. Most users can correctly view Korean file and folder
names by setting the Views control panel to Seoul.

Follow these steps to set the Views control panel:

1Choose Control Panels from the Apple (
