It appears that Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) also adopts Nanum font for Korean
typeface.

Title:
  Change default Korean font to ttf-nanum

Bug description:
  This report affects ubuntu-desktop, language-support-fonts-ko and 
language-selector-common.
  Since Sep. 2007, ttf-unfonts-core has been a suggested package of 
ubuntu-desktop. In a default install, Unfonts are set as the default Korean 
font.
  A superior quality Korean font (ttf-nanum) became available as from late 2010 
under OFL. In May 2011, Google ChromeOS adopted ttf-nanum as the default Korean 
font. After an extensive discussion in the Ubuntu Korean LoCo Mailing list 
since last year, a consensus has now been reached that it is time to migrate to 
ttf-nanum as the default Korean font in Ubuntu. 
  To achieve this, (1) ttf-unfonts-core (7.4Mb package size) must be replaced 
with ttf-nanum (7.5Mb package size) as the suggested package of ubuntu-desktop 
(2) language-support-fonts-ko should now include ttf-unfonts-core and 
ttf-nanum-coding (3) appropriate changes need to be made in some of the 
configurations files shipped with language-selector-common and 
fontconfig-config (proposed patches are attached herewith).
