Thanks, NoOp, I used your idea but I already had the document so I
saved it in the format you suggested and then opened it in evince
(Ubuntu's default pdf reader).

Then under File|Properties|Fonts I found the Hangul font name:

  UnDotum

On my system I then did:

  locate UnDotum

and found this:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts/UnDotum.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/unfonts/UnDotumBold.ttf

Just what I was looking for!

Thanks all--now I have the source of some great (and free) Hangul fonts.

Best regards,

-Tom
