Korean

ko, tier A, 한국어. 18.6 percent of 290 terms have an approved translation or a protected spelling. This measures terminology coverage, not completed prose review or publication approval.

This table is generated from the core translation memory localization/ko-core.tmx, the canonical data for Korean terminology. Edit the memory, not this page.

Use the English term until a proposed translation is approved, or when a translation is missing. A protected spelling stays unchanged. The fallback original term is the plain English phrase to translate when the term itself will not travel; the principles say how to use it. A draft English name still requires confirmation even if its spelling is protected here.

Select an English term for its definition and application context. The translator handoff explains how to propose changes.

The Korean localization guide explains the reasoning behind the less obvious choices and the rules that apply to this language.

Type design

English term	Fallback original term	Korean	Translation status	Notes
ascender	upward extension	어센더	proposed	KST dictionary, Glyphs 3, FontForge and Adobe all use 어센더.
baseline	writing line	기준선	proposed	KST dictionary headword, and Adobe, Apple and Microsoft all call the baseline 기준선 (16 corpus origins). Glyphs 3's loan 베이스라인 is rejected for the everyday word.
bowl	round belly	볼	proposed	KST dictionary headword for the closed round stroke of a, b, d, p. The corpus pick 그릇 is the kitchen sense.
cap height	capital-letter height	캡 하이트	proposed	Glyphs 3 and FontForge write 캡 하이트 and the KST dictionary 캡하이트. Adobe's descriptive 대문자 높이 is the rejected alternative.
character		문자	proposed	Glyphs 3 (문자 세트), Adobe, Apple and Microsoft use 문자 for the abstract character, distinct from 글리프.
contour		윤곽선	proposed	Glyphs 3 translates Reverse Contour as 윤곽선 방향 반전 and the KST dictionary uses 윤곽선 for a glyph's drawn line. 패스 (Glyphs 3 and Adobe for path) is the rejected alternative.
counter	enclosed white space	속공간	proposed	The KST dictionary redirects 카운터 to 속공간 (the space enclosed by a letter's strokes); Korean foundries use it for Hangul and Latin alike.
descender	downward extension	디센더	proposed	KST dictionary, Glyphs 3, FontForge and Adobe all use 디센더.
diacritical mark	combining mark	발음 구별 부호	proposed	Sandoll, Apple CoreText and the Korean Unicode block names use 발음 구별 부호; the KST dictionary headword 분음부호 is the shorter alternative.
em	type body	엠	proposed	The KST dictionary headword is 엠 (with 유닛 and 유피엠). Glyphs 3 and FontForge leave Em in Latin; 전각 is rejected because it now means a fullwidth character.
extremum	local extreme point	극점	proposed	KST dictionary headword (extreme point) and FontForge use 극점.
glyph		글리프	proposed	KST dictionary, Glyphs 3, FontForge, Adobe and Apple; 글리프 also follows the loanword orthography. Sandoll's 글립 is the rejected variant.
handle		핸들	proposed	Adobe (핸들) and Korean type teaching (핸들, 조절점) use 핸들.
ink trap	ink relief notch	잉크트랩	proposed	KST dictionary headword 잉크트랩, also used by Sandoll.
italic angle	slant angle	이탤릭 각도	proposed	Glyphs 3 has Italic 각도; 이탤릭 is the KST dictionary and orthography spelling. FontForge's 이탤릭체 기울기 is rejected.
lining figures	capital-height figures	라이닝 숫자	proposed	KST dictionary headword 라이닝숫자, also FontForge, Adobe and Sandoll.
node		노드	proposed	Glyphs 3 uses 노드 (노드 연결, 노드 삽입). Adobe's 고정점 is rejected to keep nodes apart from anchors.
overshoot	optical surplus	오버슛	proposed	KST dictionary headword, Sandoll's course and Typography Seoul write 오버슛. The corpus form 오버슈트 is the control-engineering spelling and the strict orthographic one.
proportional figures	natural-width figures	가변폭 숫자	proposed	Apple CoreText has 가변폭 숫자 and Sandoll 가변 폭 라이닝; pairs with 고정폭 숫자. FontForge's 비례폭 숫자 and KST's 비례너비 are the alternatives.
segment		세그먼트	proposed	Glyphs 3, FontForge and Adobe use 세그먼트; Adobe's older 선분 is rejected because it implies a straight line.
serif		세리프	proposed	KST dictionary, Sandoll, Glyphs 3 and Apple use 세리프; 부리 is the separate term for Hangul.
sharp		각진	proposed	The corpus picks 선명하게 and 샤프 are the image-sharpening sense; for a corner or node the plain word is 각진. KST's 꺾임 names a bend in a Hangul stroke.
sharp node		각진 노드	proposed	No attestation; 각진 (angular) is the everyday opposite of 매끄러운 (smooth). Adobe's 모퉁이점 is tied to its 고정점 vocabulary.
stem	main stroke	줄기	proposed	The KST dictionary's native word for a letter stroke (획 redirects to 줄기; 가로줄기, 세로줄기), and FontForge uses 줄기 for stem hints. KST's 스템 (Latin letters only) and Glyphs 3's 획 (collides with stroke) are rejected.
swash	flourish	스워시	proposed	Glyphs 3 uses 스워시, which is also the orthographic spelling; FontForge's 스워쉬 and Apple's 장식 are rejected.
terminal	stroke ending	터미널	proposed	KST dictionary headword and Sandoll's glossary use 터미널 for a stroke ending without a serif.
UPM	units per type body	UPM	proposed	Glyphs 3 keeps UPM (UPM 변경) and the KST dictionary lists it as 유피엠; in explanatory prose expand it as 엠당 유닛 수. Keep numeric controls compact: LSB/RSB (French AG/AD), UPM and PPM. Expanded terms belong in explanatory help; the full Family Dimensions Units Per eM label is an intentional exception. Team UI convention in Proteus 1751b28b0.
winding direction	drawing direction	윤곽선 방향	proposed	Glyphs 3 has 윤곽선 방향 반전 for reversing it; FontForge says 아웃라인의 방향.
x-height	small-letter height	엑스 하이트	proposed	Glyphs 3 and FontForge write 엑스 하이트 and the KST dictionary 엑스하이트. Adobe's x 높이 is the rejected descriptive alternative.

Font engineering

English term	Fallback original term	Korean	Translation status	Notes
advance height		글자높이	proposed	Vertical counterpart of 글자폭 (advance width); no fixed Korean term is attested, so it is derived from the chosen noun. Glyphs 3 has only 세로 너비 (Vertical Width), which reads as a contradiction.
advance width	glyph box width	글자폭	proposed	Adobe Fonts Korean, Sandoll (자폭, 고정 폭) and type designers' prose use 글자폭 for the width a glyph occupies. The KST dictionary's exact term is 활자너비 (width including side spaces), while its 글자너비 is the visible shape only; both rejected as less usual in font tools.
alignment zone	height band for snapping	정렬 영역	proposed	Glyphs 3 translates Alignment Zones as 정렬 영역.
anchor	attachment point	앵커	proposed	Glyphs 3 uses 앵커 throughout. Adobe's 고정점 (anchor point) is rejected because it names a path node, not an attachment point.
anti-aliasing	edge smoothing	앤티에일리어싱	proposed	KST dictionary headword and FontForge; the spelling follows the loanword orthography (not 안티앨리어싱).
autohinting	automatic screen fitting	자동 힌팅	proposed	Derived from 힌팅 with the everyday 자동; the KST dictionary and Morisawa Korea say 오토힌팅, which stays a valid synonym.
axis		축	proposed	Glyphs 3, FontForge, Adobe and Sandoll (굵기 축) all use 축.
axis map	axis value mapping	축 매핑	proposed	No fixed term; 축 (Glyphs 3) plus 매핑, the usual Korean for a value mapping. Glyphs 3 renders Axis Mappings loosely as 축 설정.
bottom sidebearing		아래쪽 사이드베어링	proposed	Derived from 사이드베어링; no separate attestation for the vertical sidebearings.
component		컴포넌트	proposed	Glyphs 3 and Sandoll (글립스 컴포넌트) use 컴포넌트. 구성 요소 is the general-software word and would collide with 요소 (element).
composite glyph	assembled glyph	조합 글리프	proposed	Glyphs 3 translates Create Composite as 조합 글리프 만들기; FontForge's 복합/합성 글리프 is rejected.
conversion profile	export settings set	변환 프로필	proposed	No attestation; plain compound of 변환 (conversion) and 프로필, the platform word for a saved profile.
CVT table		CVT 테이블	proposed	Tag kept, noun translated; a table inside a font is 테이블 (FontForge: cvt Table, 커닝테이블).
design space	variation range	디자인 공간	proposed	No fixed Korean term; literal rendering used by Korean writing on variable fonts. Glyphs 3 says only 인터폴레이션 범위.
device correction	per-size pixel correction	크기별 보정	proposed	No attestation; fallback translated (a correction per pixel size), with 보정 as in KST's 시각보정.
dimensions		치수	proposed	No attestation in a font tool; 치수 is the plain word for measured dimensions and keeps these vertical values apart from 메트릭스.
element		요소	proposed	No Korean font tool has this object; 요소 is the plain word (9 corpus origins) and stays distinct from 컴포넌트. The corpus pick 요소함 is a Blender container.
element reference	shared drawing link	요소 참조	proposed	Derived from 요소 and 참조.
family dimensions		글자 가족 치수	proposed	Derived from 글자 가족 (Glyphs 3 for family) and 치수.

font target	export target	대상 폰트	proposed	No attestation; fallback translated with 대상 (target) and 폰트.
font unit		폰트 유닛	proposed	The KST dictionary uses 유닛 for the subdivision of the em; FontForge has both 유닛 and 단위.
fractional coordinates	non-integer coordinates	소수 좌표	proposed	No attestation; plain Korean for coordinates with decimals (fallback: non-integer coordinates).
friendly glyph name	readable glyph name	읽기 쉬운 글리프 이름	proposed	No attestation; fallback (readable glyph name) translated. Glyphs 3's 나이스 네임 is its own product jargon.
ghost hint	edge-only fitting instruction	유령 힌트	proposed	No Korean attestation; the plain word for a ghost, as Spanish, French and Polish translated it. 고스트 힌트 is the loan alternative.
hint	screen fitting instruction	힌트	proposed	Glyphs 3, FontForge and the KST dictionary use 힌트.
hint zone	hinting height band	힌트 영역	proposed	Derived from 힌트 and 영역, the noun Glyphs 3 uses for a zone (정렬 영역).

instance	generated design	인스턴스	proposed	Glyphs 3 and FontForge use 인스턴스.
interpolation		인터폴레이션	proposed	KST dictionary headword (which gives 보간법 as its gloss), Glyphs 3 and FontForge. The shorter 보간 is the rejected alternative.
kern exception	pair spacing exception	커닝 예외	proposed	Derived from 커닝; no separate attestation.
kerning	pair spacing correction	커닝	proposed	KST dictionary, Sandoll, Glyphs 3, FontForge and Adobe all use 커닝. Apple's 자간 is a different concept (letter spacing).

kerning pair	spacing-corrected pair	커닝 쌍	proposed	Glyphs 3 counts pairs as 쌍 and the KST dictionary defines 커닝페어 as 글자 한 쌍; where the English says only pair, write 쌍.
left sidebearing		왼쪽 사이드베어링	proposed	Glyphs 3 spells out LSB as 왼쪽 사이드 베어링; written with the KST dictionary's closed 사이드베어링. Keep numeric controls compact: LSB/RSB (French AG/AD), UPM and PPM. Expanded terms belong in explanatory help; the full Family Dimensions Units Per eM label is an intentional exception. Team UI convention in Proteus 1751b28b0.
Lib		Lib	proposed	An identifier mirroring the UFO lib; kept as in German, Spanish, French and Polish.
line gap		글줄사이	proposed	The KST dictionary defines 글줄사이 as the space between one line and the next, parallel to 글자사이. 줄 간격 is rejected as the word-processor term for line spacing; engineers also say 라인 갭.
line height		줄 높이	proposed	Standard Korean for line-height in CSS and UI documentation; 줄 is also the platform word for a text line (여러 줄).
link metrics	tie spacing to another glyph	메트릭스 연결	proposed	No attestation; the everyday verb 연결 (to link) with 메트릭스. Glyphs 3 handles the same idea as 메트릭스키.
linked metrics		연결된 메트릭스	proposed	Derived from 메트릭스 연결.
mark attachment	combining mark positioning	마크 부착	proposed	Glyphs 3 uses 부착 for attaching to an anchor and FontForge 마크 첨부; derived from 마크.

metrics key		메트릭스 키	proposed	Glyphs 3 has 메트릭스키 for Metrics Keys.
pin		핀	proposed	English term: draft. Proposed form retained from the current FontLab UI. A pin is a named positioning point, distinct from an anchor used for glyph attachment.
PPM	pixels per type body	PPM	proposed	Korean keeps the abbreviation in hinting fields; in explanatory prose expand it as 엠당 픽셀 수. Keep numeric controls compact: LSB/RSB (French AG/AD), UPM and PPM. Expanded terms belong in explanatory help; the full Family Dimensions Units Per eM label is an intentional exception. Team UI convention in Proteus 1751b28b0.
production glyph name	shipping glyph name	프로덕션 글리프 이름	proposed	Glyphs 3 uses 프로덕션 이름 (Production Names).
rendering	drawing on screen	렌더링	proposed	KST dictionary, Adobe, Apple and Microsoft use 렌더링.

right sidebearing		오른쪽 사이드베어링	proposed	Glyphs 3 spells out RSB as 오른쪽 사이드 베어링; written with the closed 사이드베어링. Keep numeric controls compact: LSB/RSB (French AG/AD), UPM and PPM. Expanded terms belong in explanatory help; the full Family Dimensions Units Per eM label is an intentional exception. Team UI convention in Proteus 1751b28b0.
sidebearing	side space	사이드베어링	proposed	KST dictionary headword; Glyphs 3 and Korean foundry writing (RixFont) use 사이드베어링. FontForge's 측면 베어링 is rejected.
size		크기	proposed	Universal platform wording.
spacing		글자사이	proposed	KST dictionary headword for the space between letters (자간 redirects to it), and 글립스 타입 디자인 (Noh Eunyou, Ham Minjoo) titles its spacing chapters 글자 사이. Glyphs 3's UI loan 스페이싱 is the alternative. Only for letter spacing; other spacing is 간격.

top sidebearing		위쪽 사이드베어링	proposed	Derived from 사이드베어링; no separate attestation.
tracking	uniform letter spacing	트래킹	proposed	KST dictionary headword, defined as changing 글자사이 by one value across a run. Adobe's 자간 is rejected because the KST dictionary redirects 자간 to 글자사이 (spacing).
TrueType instruction	pixel fitting instruction	TrueType 명령	proposed	FontForge has TrueType 명령 and the KST dictionary 힌팅 명령; TrueType stays in Latin.
typographic family name		타이포그래픽 글자 가족 이름	proposed	Glyphs 3 translates Family Name as 글자 가족 이름 and uses 타이포그라픽 for Typographic; spelled 타이포그래픽 per the orthography and Apple.

localized forms	language-specific variants	지역화된 형태	proposed	Glyphs 3 has 지역화된 양식 and FontForge 지역화된 형식; 형태 is used instead of 양식 because Glyphs 3 itself uses 형태 for letterforms and 양식 reads as a document form.

OS/2 table		OS/2 테이블	proposed	Tag kept, noun translated; 테이블 for a table inside a font (FontForge).
Private Use Area		Private Use Area	do-not-translate
single substitution		단일 치환	proposed	No fixed term; 치환 is the technical word for substitution and keeps GSUB rules apart from 대체 (alternates). FontForge has 단일 글리프로 대체.

Interface

English term	Fallback original term	Korean	Translation status	Notes
action		동작	proposed	Apple and Adobe (InDesign, Illustrator) use 동작 for an invokable operation; 액션 is Photoshop's recorded macro and 작업 is a task.
add		추가	proposed	Glyphs 3 (글리프 추가, 앵커 추가) and every platform use 추가; the corpus pick 더하기 is arithmetic addition.
alternate		대체	proposed	Glyphs 3 and Apple CoreText use 대체 for alternates.
anchor cloud	attachment point cloud	앵커 구름	proposed	No attestation; 앵커 plus the plain word for cloud. Where the English says only cloud, write 구름.
auto layer	recipe-built layer	자동 레이어	proposed	No attestation; fallback idea rendered with the everyday 자동 and the chosen noun 레이어.
autohint		자동 힌트	proposed	Glyphs 3 and FontForge have 자동힌트 for the command; written as two words like other 자동 compounds. 오토힌트 (also Glyphs 3) is the rejected loan.
Brush		붓	proposed	House rule: a tool borrowed from a real tool takes the real tool's name, and 붓 is the brush a calligrapher holds. Adobe and Glyphs 3 use the loan 브러시/브러쉬, rejected.
collapse		모으기	proposed	No attestation for this node operation; the definition (bring selected nodes to one point) is translated with the plain verb. The corpus pick 축소 means shrinking a panel, a different action.
color flag	color mark	색 라벨	proposed	Glyphs 3 calls the same glyph colour marking 색 라벨 (Color Label).
corner angles		모서리 각도	proposed	No attestation; 모서리 is the everyday word for a corner (Microsoft), used for every corner term here.
cousins	related glyphs alongside	사촌	proposed	No attestation; the plain family word, in the house voice, as Polish did with kuzynostwo.
crop		자르기	proposed	Adobe, Apple and Microsoft use 자르기 (25 corpus origins).
cubic		3차	proposed	Korean mathematics calls a cubic curve 3차 곡선; the corpus loan 큐빅 means a gemstone in everyday Korean.
current		현재	proposed	Universal platform wording.
cusp		첨점	proposed	Korean geometry term for a cusp; no type-specific attestation.

demo mode		데모 모드	proposed	Standard Korean software wording; no type-specific source needed.
dialog		대화 상자	proposed	Microsoft and general Korean software wording.
Dream Up	generate shapes	뚝딱 만들기	proposed	No attestation; house voice. 뚝딱 is the sound of the folk-tale magic club that produces things at a stroke, so the name conjures as Polish wyczaruj does, and 만들기 still says it generates.
echo text	repeated text	텍스트 따라가기	proposed	No attestation; fallback idea translated: the preview follows the text of the current window. 반복 is avoided because it is Repeat.
Eraser		지우개	proposed	The real tool's name; Adobe, Apple and Microsoft all use 지우개.
expand filter	bake filter into contours	필터 확장	proposed	Illustrator's Korean interface uses 확장 for Expand, the same bake-into-paths operation; no font tool attests the phrase.
expand stroke	bake stroke into contours	획 확장	proposed	Illustrator's 확장 (Expand) with 획 (stroke); FontForge's 스트로크 확장 has the same structure. Glyphs 3 words its own command 아웃라인 만들기.
expand transformation	bake transformation into contours	변형 확장	proposed	Derived from 확장 (Illustrator's Expand) and 변형; no attestation of the phrase.
feature		피처	proposed	Glyphs 3 (피처), the KST dictionary (오픈타입피처) and Sandoll use the loan; Adobe's 기능 is rejected because it also means any function of the application.
Fills		채우기	proposed	Glyphs 3 (Fill is 채우기), Apple and Microsoft use 채우기. Illustrator's noun 칠 (paired with 획) is the rejected alternative; it is also the numeral seven.
FontAudit		폰트오디트	proposed	User requires phonetic transliteration, explicitly including Chinese. Russian and Ukrainian spellings were recovered from team QPH; other spellings are proposals. Retain the FontAudit identity; do not translate as a generic audit command. Preserve FontAudit in code and identifiers.
FontLab account		FontLab 계정	proposed	Translate the common noun account and inflect it in complete sentences; preserve the FontLab brand. German, Spanish and French wording is already used in current FontLab UI. Other language forms are proposals. Do not duplicate account when the surrounding sentence already translates it.
Fusion	Welder	용접공	proposed	User decision 2026-10-04: translate the fallback Welder, the named live boolean group filter. Polish Spawacz is explicit; other renderings are proposals. Preserve Fusion in code identifiers.
Genius node	self-balancing node	천재 노드	proposed	No attestation; house voice. The plain word for a genius, rather than the transliteration 지니어스.
grid		그리드	proposed	Glyphs 3, Adobe and the KST dictionary use 그리드; 격자 is the older alternative.
Groups		그룹	proposed	Glyphs 3 (커닝 그룹) and every platform use 그룹.
