Bug Description
* Impact:
The rendering of Ubuntu's default Korean font(NanumGothic) is incorrect.
The most seen sympton is character's upmost part is not shown and it can make impossible to read or confused with different character(ex: 줄 & 출).
* Test case:
Copy and paste '를' to gedit.
Open gucharmap, find 를 (U+B97C), and see character in [Character Details] tab.
Compare it. Upmost horizontal line should apear properly in gedit like as gucharmap's detailed view.
Change account name to '를' and logout.
See account name show properly in greeter.
* Regression potential:
check that text rendering is fine in the greeter and session, using different fonts and locales
-------
ubuntu-settings overrides org.gnome.
I have no idea on what ground this value has been overridden, but it critically broke Korean language desktop.
