I have translated machine software from English into Korean and have a problem:
the GUI needs to display some ASCII (latin) characters and Korean characters simultaneously in the same font. The text is presented as a table which means that characters need to be vertically aligned (e.g. the 5th character on line 2 sits exactly beneath the 5th character on line 1).

I have tried MINGLIU and NotoMono-Regular but neither display Korean glyphs correctly in our application. Non-monospaced fonts like malgun and arial-unicode work correctly (but don't align characters).

Can anyone advise me about a usable font that solves this issue?

Thanks in advance!
