NeoDunggeunmo Pro

NeoDunggeunmo Pro is a proportional bitmap font based on NeoDunggeunmo.

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.

NeoDunggeunmo Pro is something beyond NeoDunggeunmo. It breaks free from 8x16 or 16x16 pixels boundaries, and each glyph takes just as much space as it deserves. And with the kerning feature, which appropriately adjusts spacing between certain character pairs, NeoDunggeunmo Pro is a versatile pixel font which can be used anywhere outside terminal emulators.

Check out the official website (Korean) for more information.
