* font/ttfsrc/Makefile: fontforge scripting command changed from
  "Simplify(-1,1)" to "Simplify(64,1)" to "merge lines which are
  nearly parallel into one".  This decreases the TrueType file size

  unifont_sample.hex rather than assembling *.hex just for this image.
* hangul/hangul-generation.html: updated to correct a typo, where
  rieul was mentioned as an initial consonant instead of a final
  consonant in an explanation of vertical spacing constraints.
* hangul/Makefile:
  - Updated hex2bdf parameters to name generated BDF font
    "Unifont Johab" rather than "unifont" and add copyright.
  - Used a sed script to change BDF encoding from ISO10646 to "Johab".
  - Call bdftopcf to create hangul-base.pcf, then compress with gzip.
  - Add "precompiled:" target to create basic Johab font files.
