Bug Description

I did try to type in korean characters, but I was unable to do so.

1. open up inkscape
2. I hit [한/영] key to switch to korean from eng
3. I type/paste in [안녕하세요]
4. You get nothing.... no crash.. just nothing

So for the moment, I do the typing in Gimp, export with alpha channel to inkscape as a .png.

I can confirm this on a recent SVN build. This appear to be a bug on the render/visualization part, as the text in input is correctly present while checking wiht the xml editor.

Changed in inkscape:
importance: Undecided → Medium
status: New → Confirmed

Hello, I can see your query I give you my best please see below and follow the information...

Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor that supports various languages and scripts. However, some users have reported problems with typing in Korean characters in Inkscape, especially on Mac OS X.

There are a few possible solutions that you can try to resolve this issue:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Inkscape installed on your computer. You can download it from the official website here https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/alt-key-combinations-for-special-language-characters/.
2. Make sure you have the appropriate fonts installed on your computer that support Korean characters. You can check the available fonts in Inkscape by going to the Text and Font dialog (Shift+Ctrl+T) and browsing the font list.
3. Make sure you have the correct input method selected on your computer. You can change the input method by clicking on the language icon on the menu bar and choosing the Korean option. You can also use the keyboard shortcut (usually Command+Space) to switch between input methods.
4. Try using a different keyboard layout or input source for Korean. You can change the keyboard layout or input source by going to the System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources and adding or removing the options you want. You can also use the keyboard shortcut (usually Option+Command+Space) to switch between keyboard layouts or input sources.
5. Try using a different application to type in Korean characters and then copy and paste them into Inkscape. You can use any text editor or word processor that supports Korean characters, such as TextEdit, Pages, or Microsoft Word.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. Have a great day! 😊.

Best regard,
