You will need two things to play HanGhoul:
- A Korean font
You will need a Korean font installed on your computer to view the Korean text in HanGhoul. Most Windows machines already have a Korean font installed, such as Batang, Dotum, or Gulim. If you don't have one of these fonts or would like to look at some other Korean fonts, see the following site:
Baekmuk Dotum is a nice, small font which is available from this FTP site. Download the file "baekmuk-ttf-2.1.tar.gz", then use a program like WinRAR to decompress the file, and finally copy "dotum.ttf" to your Windows fonts folder.
You may need to configure your browser to be able to view Korean characters: see this site for instructions. I highly recommend using a Mozilla browser.
I have tested the following fonts with HanGhoul: Baekmuk Dotum, Baekmuk Gulim, Batang, Bitstream CyberCJK, Bitstream Cyberbit, Dotum, DotumChe, Gulim, and GulimChe. Other Korean fonts will work, but the Korean characters may not be aligned properly in the boxes above the enemies.
- Java
HanGhoul is a Java applet, so you will need to have Java installed on your system and enabled in your browser in order to run it. Java versions 5 and 6 are highly recommended, but older versions should work too. You can download and install the latest version from this site:
If you already have Java, you can check the version number in Windows XP by going to Control Panel, opening "Java" (or "Java Plug-in"), and then selecting "About".
Note: In addition, you may want to go to the "Update" tab, uncheck the box to "Check for Updates Automatically", and click "Apply". This will stop a process from loading with every startup of Windows and taking up resources unnecessarily.
