It is good to learn more and discuss this on the
SIG call today (in progress).

This meeting is very exciting.  Thanks for arranging it!

My understanding is that there may be several problems with the
image that you posted.  The rendering was performed by BS Contact.
- some Hangul characters should be open/unfilled (like letter O)
	rather than filled in like a disk
- The rendered text is provided as an ImageTexture style of image,
	rather than geometric polygons which are more scalable.
	Images can work in some cases but can provide difficulty
	in 3D scenes.

Please confirm and clarify whether this is a correct understanding.

This is a very important set of issues to understand so that we can
provide good guidance and best practices to E-book authors and tools.

Also please send the X3D scene so that I can check and confirm.

- X3D-Edit 3.2 authoring tool has good support for international
	text, let us please test it on your example scene.  Recent
	improvements in this week's release may help.

Looking forward to further exploration of this problem with you.

all the best, Don
