Thanks a lot, Mike,

Unfortunately, neither method did not work. Still the same square
blocks everywhere. I have upgraded all those ghostscript rpms
and I have had those Munhwa fonts all along. ANd then I did
ldconfig -v. No use.

By the way, I really cannot understand the position of UTF-8
in Korea. I am sure that you do not know about the situation
either. Everyone uses eucKR, not UTF-8. Is UTF-8 somehow
the encoding scheme recommended over the globe? I have known
that eucKR and UTF-8 are definitely not compatible.
I do not think that anyone in his right mind would ever
switch to UTF-8 because she/he will immediately have trouble
in reading her/his emails.

Oh, What is UHC (unified hangul code)? What a mess!

I am sure that those characters which just generated square blocks
were coded by eucKR, not UTF-8.

What a headache! Why should I bother with all this? I could
gone to the MS Windows camp. Oh Well..

Best Regards,

G. Hugh Song
