Korean portals Daum and Naver marked this year’s Hangul Day by releasing a set of free fonts:

Naver, the country’s most-visited search engine, said yesterday in a release that it will distribute free Hangul-based fonts, which the company developed over the past 12 months by investing 500 million won ($362,450).

Two types of fonts are available at http://hangeul.naver.com.

“We’ve realized Hangul content is circulated the most over the Internet, so we decided to shed light on Hangul’s beauty, and I guess that’s what made other Web sites go for Hangul marketing,” said Noh Su-jin, a manager at NHN, which operates Naver

While most major websites including Google Korea celebrated by including Korean characters in their logos.
