Is it OK to replace all of them? According to this document:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/fonts/windows_10_font_list
There still are Korean supplementary fonts available (Batang/Gulim/etc) if `Feature On Demand` is installed. Should they be honored?

Also, for bold type, should we use `malgunbd.ttf`?
