Actually, North Korean fonts and IME's have been available for years through
Japanese and Singapore subsidiaries. Some decade ago I got a font sample
booklet from one such Japanese dealer (Rainbow). The fonts were weirdly
"Victorian".

It seems that the Korea Computer Centre has developed an input method editor
which apparently ships with "300 kinds of Korean font".
Maybe it's just me, but that figure sounds somewhat exaggerated. Anyway, the
point is that the North Koreans may be willing to make the fonts available
if someone took an interest in their IME.
