-Dsun.awt.UseAltWin32FontApi=(gulim.TTC,a000,d000,0,20)
to use this fix for gulim.TTC(win32 korean font), unicode a000-d000,
font size 0 to 20

This option has been verified to work on Korean Window 2000 Pro on 1.3.1_01a b08, but it does not work on Windows NT4.0+SP6. Therefore, we need to reopen this bug for further investigation.
