Malgun Gothic is supposed to be the default korean font replacing Gulim as per the wiki mentioned in the description, so I have only replaced Gulim,not all.. Others like Batang are not replaced.
Also, as I pointed out by screenshot in JBS in my Windows10 I dont have malgunbd.ttf so I was doubting it may not be available in all distribution by default, so I have used only malgun.ttf

OTOH, if Gulim is available as supplementary fonts, we probably can close this issue as "Wont fix" mentioning the same.
