Bug Description
If you install Korean language pack in Ubuntu, Ubuntu will install a Korean font "Guseul" which is contained in ttf-alee package. This font has big problem. Run "Character Map" and select "Guseul" font, and click "Han"(Chinese Character). You'll see Hangul instead of Chinese Character. For example
"U+4E00" should be "一", but this font print Hangul "일" instead of Chinese character "一".
Other problem is this font is one of default Korean font in fontconfig. So firefox use it as default monospace font. It makes Ubuntu users cannot read Chinese character amongst Korean scripts.
So I contacted with alee who made this font, he/she said he/she added this feature on purpose, so it's not a bug. I discuss about this problem in Korean community, some people "Guseul" font has problem, because it print Hangul instead of Chinese character, so it should be removed amongst package of Korean fonts. Other people said it is feature of "Guseul" font, so it's not a bug. But all people agree with fontconfig should be fixed and change default Korean font on Ubuntu.
