Windows Mobile 6.1: Changing the System Font & Adding Korean Support
There are some incredibly complicated instructions on the internet for changing your system font to something pretty — like Segoe UI, the new default font in Microsoft Vista. There are similarly complicated instructions for adding Korean language support to your WM6 device as well. After a few hours of tinkering, these are the only modifications you need to accomplish the following:
1) Change the system font to Segoe UI. 2) Support the reading of Korean filenames using the Malgun font.
.Reg File Based Installation
One of the readers of this article, Dragon042, was kind enough to create a .reg file which automatically makes the registry changes I’ve documented in this article for Korean support using XP fonts. Download here. Copy gulim.ttc into your Windows folder and run the .reg file.
Instructions for Windows Vista Fonts:
Copy segoeui.ttf, segoeuib.ttf, and malgun.ttf to the Windows folder of your Windows Mobile 6 device. These files can be found in the Windows\Fonts directory of your Vista installation.
Add the following registry keys:
[HKLM/Software/Microsoft/FontLink/SystemLink]
Segoe UI = \windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
Tahoma = \windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
Segoe UI = \windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
Tahoma = \windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
*Note that there are no quotation marks used anywhere.
[HKLM/System/GDI]
FontLinkMethods = 1
FontLinkMethods = 1
[HKLM/System/GDI/SYSFNT]
Nm = Segoe UI
Nm = Segoe UI
[HKLM/System/GDI/FontAlias]
Tahoma = Segoe UI
Tahoma = Segoe UI
Use the below instructions to accomplish the following: 1) Keep the default font to Tahoma. 2) Support the reading of Korean filenames using the Windows XP Gulim font.
Instructions for Korean Support using only Windows XP Fonts:
Copy gulim.ttc to the Windows folder of your Windows Mobile 6 device. These files can be found in the Windows\Fonts directory of your Windows XP installation.
Add the following registry keys:
[HKLM/Software/Microsoft/FontLink/SystemLink]
Tahoma = \windows\gulim.ttc,Gulim
Tahoma = \windows\gulim.ttc,Gulim
*Note that there are no quotation marks used anywhere.
[HKLM/System/GDI]
FontLinkMethods = 1
FontLinkMethods = 1
[HKLM/System/GDI/SYSFNT]
Nm = Gulim
Nm = Gulim
[HKLM/System/GDI/FontAlias]
Tahoma = Gulim
Tahoma = Gulim
Perform a soft reboot and you should be all set. If you have problems, make sure that the case and spacing of the keys you entered exactly match the above.
Explanation:
FontLink keys essentially extend a Western/Roman font to include non-Roman fonts. By enabling Font Linking as documented above, you enable WM6 to search for Korean characters in the Segoe UI AND Malgun font sets. Inevitably, the operating system will find the correct Korean characters in Malgun.ttf and render them on your screen. The references below document additional registry keys in WM6, but the instructions above are sufficient.

If you have a HTC Fuze aka Touch Pro and want to enable Korean fonts in TouchFlo, see my directions here.

Here are my steps:
1. Download Windows registry editor from here, and the registry file for Korean font support KoreanFontSupport.reg from here.
2. Download Chinese font , Japanese font , and Japanese dictionary (optional).
3. Unzip JPENSIPA.ZIP and MJDICTA.ZIP.
4. Copy Windows registry editor regedit.mrln_arm.cab, KoreanFontSupport.reg, chinese_font.cab, JPENSIPA.cab and MJDICTA.cab into mobile phone storage.
5. Copy Windows Vista fonts segoeui.ttf, segoeuib.ttf, malgun.ttf and gulim.ttc to the Windows folder of your Windows Mobile 6 device. These files can be found in the Windows\Fonts directory of your Vista installation.
5. Install regedit.mrln_arm.cab, followed by the fonts JPENSIPA.cab and MJDICTA.cab, and chinese_font.cab.
6. Run KoreanFontSupport.reg, you will see the following more complex parts.
7. Using the Windows registry editor, navigate to the following key:
[My Device/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/FontLink/SystemLink]
Make the following changes to ALL the values present here:
- Albany AMT = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
- Courier New = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
- Cumberland AMT = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
- MS Sans Serif = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
- nina = \windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
- Segoe UI or Segoe Condensed (for my Omnia) = \windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
- Tahoma = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
- Thorndale AMT = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
[My Device/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/GDI]
FontLinkMethods = 1
[My Device/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/GDI/SYSFNT]
Nm = Segoe Condensed
[My Device/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/GDI/VI/FontAlias]
Tahoma:12 = Segoe Condensed:12
8. Reboot the phone and enjoy your Chinese, Japanese and Korean fonts!
*Note: Some icons may still appear as boxes (e.g. Japanese .and ー), but all other language characters are seen as per normal, as they should be.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Omnia Tip #17: Displaying korean characters!
First, you will need a font that supports Korean. You could get it from your Windows\Fonts directory. I'll be using malgun.ttf as example here.
Copy the font to your device's Windows folder.
Using Registry Editor, navigate to the following key, [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
Append "\windows\malgun.tff,Malgun Gothic" (without the quotes) to all the values listed here. Below is the snippet of the modified values on my Omnia. Mine came with Chinese support original, explaining the extra fonts.
Courier New = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
Tahoma = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
You should be able to see korean now :D
Copy the font to your device's Windows folder.
Using Registry Editor, navigate to the following key, [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
Append "\windows\malgun.tff,Malgun Gothic" (without the quotes) to all the values listed here. Below is the snippet of the modified values on my Omnia. Mine came with Chinese support original, explaining the extra fonts.

Tahoma = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
You should be able to see korean now :D
P.S. Additional language could be added in this way similarly..
Tested and works for Omnia II =D

언제나 비가와도 칠흙같이 캄캄한 어둠이 와도...
그대 곁에서 기다릴께 ...
Nothing better than that...

誰かのために
For someone’s sake
僕らはここで
we are here,
小さな事しかできないけれど
Although we can only achieve small things,
一秒だけでも
Even just for 1 second,
世界上に涙止めて
We still want to stop all the tears in this world,
笑顔になってくれるのなろ
And turn them all into smiles
My music is my life
For you, for your smile..
