Question on fonts (re: Digi_Tilmitt)

I saw this post on another thread. Rather then pulling that thread off topic.

Importing mine from Japan, getting the base model with wireless keyboard for around €650. No need to pay the ripoff republic price! Will upgrade to 8GB of RAM and an SSD in a few months.

One thing that has annoyed me a little bit with OSX is that Korean fonts are extremely hard to read, when compared to Windows.

I even took it up with Apple support who were not able to help.

I was wondering if the Japanese fonts had the same issues and how you got around it?

I run Windows 7 in Japanese and ran OS X 10.4 in Japanese on my PowerBook up until it stopped powering on reliably a few months ago, can't say I found it more difficult to read the font in OS X. Also have my iPad in Japanese, again no issue. Maybe this is just an issue with the implementation of Korean in OS X? I find it hard to imagine Apple would gimp the OS X experience for the entire Korean market without fixing it for that long.

Have other people you know who can read Korean/Korean's themselves had trouble with OS X? Was it just that the fonts were small, or blurred or some other issue?

Fonts are small and blurry. Quite painful to read actually. I was thinking that maybe the EU version had a different font set.
