混植については、たとえば、国際的な商品においてハングル書体と多国語書体でデザインを合わせる必要性が高まってきている。ただし、ハングル書体と日本語書体を一緒に組むと一般的に日本語が大きく見えるため、日本語書体のサイズを少し小さくする必要があるという。

Konshoku ni tsuite wa, tatoeba, kokusaiteki na shōhin ni oite Hanguru shotai to takokugo shotai de dezain o awaseru hitsuyōsei ga takamattekiteiru. Tadashi, Hanguru shotai to Nihongo shotai o issho ni kumu to ippanteki ni Nihongo ga ōkiku mieru tame, Nihongo shotai no saizu o sukoshi chīsaku suru hitsuyō ga aru to iu.

Noh also spoke about multilingual typesetting. For example, the need to coordinate design using Hangeul fonts and multilingual fonts is increasing in international products. However, when pairing Hangeul fonts with Japanese fonts, because Japanese typically appears to be larger, there is a need to make the size of the Japanese font a little bit smaller.
