Korean display error in chromium

[sundol]

Package: chromium-browser

Version:
Chromium 6.0.472.63 (59945) on LMDE.

Problems:
When encoding is set to the default, Unicode, Hangul (Korean alphabet) characters are encoded correctly but are overlapped.
When encoding is set to Korean, Hangul (Korean alphabet) characters are not encoded correctly but not overlapped.

Probable reason:
Hangul has broader width than English alphabet but is is displayed with the width of English alphabet. Therefore, it is overlapped each other.

**: Google chrome stable (version 7.0.517.44) and firefox display Hangul well without any problem.

Hello sundol,

Thanks for reporting this. I would recommend upgrading Chromium to a newer version that works. We don't do any maintenance on Chromium so I am afraid that's the only recommendation I can make.

Thank you

- Justin

As an addendum, we may import a new version of Chromium into our repositories, stay tuned.

Thank you

Apparently this was an old bug (in the past) but it must be back in Petra with Chromium. It is not in Chromium on Maya or Nadia, and in Petra it is not in Firefox. It appears only in Chromium on Petra and I'm using and up-to-date 64-bit Cinnamon edition.
