Korean hyphenation

[Miyeon]

Hello. I learned editorial design on my own, so I'm not very skilled at using advanced features. 

My contents' language is Korean, and I have some problem with hyphenation. 

I want hyphenation is done automatically at the letter level to fit the line length, rather than at the word level, so that the spaces between letters would be equal

Where can I find the options to fix this problem in the UI?

In addition to the setting shown above, please look at the Character panel. In the Language section, there is a setting for Hyphenation. Do you have Korean showing there? If not, you also need to install an appropriate Korean hyphenation dictionary.

Instructions for installing the dictionaries are in the FAQ:

From the FAQ topic, there are direct links to Korean (ko_KR) ones at the links listed below, but there does not seem to be one for hyphenation....

• ko_KR
  • ko_KR.aff
  • ko_KR.dic

Thanks for checking that, @R C-R. The statement remains true, of course: you can't get automatic hyphenation without a dictionary, but I should have checked whether one was available there and mentioned that.

Not really your job to do that; I just checked because I had a spare moment & was curious about hyphenation in the Korean language. I don't know much about how that language is written using the western (Roman?) alphabet, but from this article it seems like for a person's name it is quite complicated & not very well standardized.

After additional searching, it does not seem that anyone has produced a Hunspell hyphenation dictionary for Korean, which means that all hyphenation would need to be done manually.

I sincerely appreciate your detailed answers for my question. It helps me a lot ☺️ I think I need to find another software for my design, because automatic hyphenation is essential. Thank you again!
