This explanation only makes sense when those two chars are NOT included in the blank glyph list, doesn't it? As I wrote, they've have been in the blank glyph list in my fonts.conf since early September. Hmm, things are getting more interesting. After I removed Ngulim.ttf from my font path and then put it back (I ran fc-cache before testing), suddenly Mozilla picks up U+1160 glyph from Code2000. The same is true of 'gedit' when Code2000 is specified as a font to use. Is it at the whim of electrons whirling around inside my computer :-) ? > If your font specification includes language, this would cause Ngulim to > be preferred over Code2000 if both are added to the pattern in the config > file.

The page in question (http://jshin.net/i18n/korean/hunmin.html and http://jshin.net/i18n/korean/hunmin_comp.html) specifies font-family to be CODE2000 explicitly with CSS. I assume this will make Mozilla with Xft enabled ask fontconfig for that font explicitly. As for Pango(gedit), I'm less certain because I don't know whether Pango specifies language when sending fonts request down(or up) the road. Therefore, my original mystery still remains a mystery :-) > Code2000 isn't marked as supporting Korean as it is missing a large number > of Han glyphs, totalling some 3136 characters from the KSC 5601-1992 > encoding. Many Korean documents will not be completely covered by this Sorry I didn't check Han glyphs only checking that it has the full set of precomposed Hangul syllables(11,172 of them.). As I suggested before, a kind of multi-level orthography check may be necessary to cope with situations like this. Or, would it be possible for users to override manually what fontconfig *detects* (both code range coverage and lang) in fonts.conf as suggested in my prev. email?
