Hanterm was once in Debian, but not the johab hanterm fonts. (Hanterm can use standard korean X fonts without custom johab fonts anyway.) Chuyeon tried to upload xfonts-johab but rejected from the NEW queue by ftpmasters because of the license reason. Hanterm was later removed from Debian by dead upstream and security concerns. > Changwoo Ryu was involved with the 1999 hanterm thread.
