+The NanumGothicBold.ttf and NanumGothic.ttf fonts in this directory are
+modified versions of the NanumGothicBold.ttf and NanumGothic.ttf fonts
+from http://hangeul.naver.com/font. Because these fonts ship with
+DroidSansFallback.ttf (which contains an extensive collection of Chinese
+glyphs as well as other non-Korean characters) and because these fonts
+will ship on Android devices which do not use hints, the following changes
+were made to reduce the size of the NanumGothicBold.ttf and NanumGothic.ttf
+font files:
+
+1. Remove 4,888 Chinese characters
+2. Remove non-Korean characters other than ASCII (up to U+007F)
+3. Remove hints

+Shawn Kwon at NHN <kss@nhn.com> has given permission to use the reserved
