It's rather

  buf[0] &= 0x7F;
  buf[1] &= 0x7F;

Using ISO 2022 speak, this converts EUC-KR's character set in the G1
slot from GR representation (0xA1-0xFE × 0xA1-0xFE) to GL (0x21-0x7E ×
0x21-0x7E).

This is wrong.  Remove it.  As you can check with 'ftdump -V', the
cmap in your PCF font starts with

  0x2121 => 2356
  0x2122 => 2357
  0x2123 => 2358
  0x2124 => 2359
  ....

Yes.  In FreeType, after selecting the character map, you can now use
`FT_Load_Char' to map a (16bit) code value in `buf' to a glyph index.
