Add Korean font name like the Adobe version #265

Noto Sans CJK has only English name(s). Please add a Korean name in Hangul, at 
least a transliterated one.

When usual Korean users find font names in English Alphabets, they consider 
those fonts as non-Korean one. The average Korean people are not good at 
reading English and not comfortable with brandings written in English 
Alphabets. Noto Sans includes Korean glyphs, but people don't think so because 
Noto Sans has only English names.

The Adobe version, Source Han Sans, has its own Korean name ("본고딕").

Because the Source Han Sans and Noto Sans CJK fonts differ *only* by their 
names (I know, because I built all of the fonts, starting from raw glyph data 
to end up with installable font resources), one obvious solution is to simply 
use the corresponding Source Han Sans fonts, which include localized font names 
in their 'name' tables.

Noto fonts have only a name in the Latin script - "Noto".

WAI? Simple ignorance of other cultures.

If you prefer to have a localized name, please take my suggestion more 
seriously. Other than the names, Source Han Sans and Noto Sans CJK are 100% 
identical.
