[RFC PATCH v2 6/7] docs: pdfdocs: Add optional choices for Korean monospace font

From: Akira Yokosawa
Date: Mon Jul 19 2021 - 07:17:15 EST


Candidates of alternative choices of a *true* monospace font would
be "D2Coding", "Sarasa Mono K", or "Unifont" font.

The alignment of Korean ascii-art figures matters when the optional
conf.py under Dodumentation/translations/ is effective.
So, add conditional settings in the local config so that when one of
the candidate fonts is found, it is used instead of "Noto Sans Mono
CJK KR".

As xeCJK does not provide a macro to redefine an existing CJK font
family, define a wrapper macro "\setKRmono" and use it in the
"\kerneldocBeginKR" macro.

Also mention the nice-to-have monospace Hangul fonts in the header
comment in conf.py.

+# Note: Ascii-art figures involving Hangul characters need optional
+# monospace font. (Hangul in "Noto Sans Mono CJK" is slightly narrow.)
+# If you'd like to see properly aligned ascii-art figures in Korean
+# translations, you need to install a *true* monospace Hangul font.
+#
+# Candidates of such a monospace font which covers Hangul:
+# 1) D2Coding: Availabe at
+# https://github.com/naver/d2codingfont/releases/latest
+# 2) Sarasa Mono K: Available at
+# https://github.com/be5invis/Sarasa-Gothic/releases/latest
+# 3) Unifont: (easy to install but poor quality)
+# Available as distro packages, e.g.:
+# Ubuntu/Debian: ttf-unifont
+# Fedora: unifont-fonts
