Yes, some/many are dead, but you can see the look and "feel" of the 
fonts and then Google the font names to download them.

To be honest, Arial Unicode seems to have the most glyphs.  Having a 
dedicated Korean font would be great, but it can be hard do decide which 
one is best without some viewing software [FontForge on Ubuntu] that 
will show the characters.  LibreOffice has a Insert Special Characters 
option that allow you to go to the different subsets - like Hangul.  
Actually Arial Unicode has 12+ different Hangul subsets.

Do you know what the font name your friend or business associate uses on 
his system?  It would be nice to know that.  Otherwise, you will need to 
find as many Korean fonts, or Unicode ones with Hangul/Korean glyphs in it.

"UnBatang" was the free font that was listed in a Wiki page for Korean 
Fonts.  Microsoft's version is "Batang".
See if this image has the glyphs "style" you want.
