Description
Axismundi Korean Font Provider supplies the Noto Sans KR and Noto Serif KR
web fonts and fills the Axismundi theme’s regional CJK fallback slot when the
current document root has a Korean language tag (ko or ko-*).
Two roles:
- Provider. On activation the plugin enqueues
@font-facerules (front end
and block editor) for the two families. On a Korean document it sets the
theme’s--axismundi-cjk-sans/--axismundi-cjk-serifslots. The fonts are
scoped to Hangul, so Latin keeps rendering in Roboto Flex / Roboto Serif. - Font Library collection. The families are registered as the
“Axismundi Korean Font Provider” collection, so they can be browsed,
installed, and selected from Site Editor > Styles > Typography.
Without the plugin the Axismundi theme falls back to the operating system’s CJK
font. Separate regional plugins can fill the same slot for Japanese or Chinese
documents without competing in a fixed font-family list. The current Korean
WOFF2 files are Hangul subsets; Korean Hanja continues to use the system fallback.
This plugin bundles no tracking and contacts no external service.

FAQ
-
Does it require the Axismundi theme?
-
Automatic fallback-slot integration requires Axismundi 0.1.3 or later. Other
themes can still select the registered Noto families explicitly from the Font
Library or reference their family names in CSS. -
Does it change Latin text?
-
No. The
@font-facerules are scoped to the Korean unicode range, so Latin and
numerals continue to use the theme’s primary family. -
Which WordPress language setting selects the Korean fallback?
-
The public document language (
<html lang>), normally derived from Site
Language, selects it. A multilingual plugin may set that language per request.
The logged-in user’s profile language translates wp-admin and does not select the
font used for published content. -
Does this package include Korean Hanja?
-
No. The bundled WOFF2 files are deliberately limited to Hangul and Jamo. Shared
CJK ideographs fall through to the operating system font until a separate
regional Hanja subset is provided.
