NeoDunggeunmo

Sample image

NeoDunggeunmo(Neo둥근모) is a general-purpose TrueType font based on a famous Korean bitmap font "Dunggeunmo-kkol(둥근모꼴)", which was designed for use in DOS.

Introduction

"Dunggeunmo-kkol" is a public domain bitmap font for DOS designed and released by Jungtae Kim in 1990s, and it's still widely used in LED sign boards thanks to its decent design. NeoDunggeunmo is a general-purpose TrueType font with outline glyphs converted from the bitmap font and some original glyphs which don't exist in the original font.

Check out the official website (Korean) for more information and a list of glyphs available in NeoDunggeunmo.
