Yup, that's Daewoo fonts, included in official XFree86/Xorg.

Thanks Walter. I have these. They are open sourced by Bitstream, and
they don't have non-Latin stuffs. Slackware is not that behind other
distro, after all.
I figured out that Firefox only does TTF/Type1, and goes through
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Not /etc/X11/XF86Config. I was confused,
because Netscape-7.1 and Konqueror were picking up Daewoo fonts, but not
Firefox. Conversely, Firefox was picking up Cyberbit font, but not
Netscape-7.1 or Konqueror.
By the way, I like Cyberbit... one file to download and install. But,
for reference, other Korean fonts can be found at
http://kldp.net/projects/unfonts/
which are the same fonts used in HLaTeX (Korean LaTeX).
Next topic to nail down is inputting Korean chars through Firefox or
Thunderbird. I'll post when I find out. I can do it through
Vim/Mutt/Xterm, but that doesn't count (as we all know).
