Comment 25 for bug 475240

I can confirm this bug and think the solution should be backported. Hangeul doesn't just look bad, it's unreadable in a Ubuntu default installation (See attached image, left jaunty, right karmic). If you increase the font size to 13pt or more, the font looks great, but not at the standard application font size. I'm sorry for the Chinese users for having to endured foreign characters, but solving that problem by making another script unreadable is a very bad idea. I hope, the solutions in this topic solve it for all sides.

I'm quiet disappointed by Karmic. In the past, I thought that only mature features were introduced into a final release as a system default, but Karmic didn't just introduced this font, but also the very buggy ibus (at least for Hangeul, reported several bugs & switched back to scim).
