I could reproduce the problem with the site "http://bing.search.daum.net/"; in Firefox:
If you enter (or copy/paste) e.g. the Chinese character 是 into the search field, it is displayed as a Korean character, looking like 시. The problem seems to be that Firefox recognizes the site as Korean and therefore chooses a Korean font. But that font tries to transliterate Chinese characters into Korean, which in a multilingual situation (and IMHO in general) is a bad idea. It seems to me that all installed Korean fonts have this problem. The only way I could get the right characters to be displayed was by selecting one of the Chinese fonts (e.g. ”AR PL UMing CN“) as the "Korean sans serif" font in Firefox. The Chinese fonts also render Korean, maybe not beautifully, but at least correctly. I am not a font expert and don't know if changing the Korean default sans serif font to a Chinese font is a good idea or whether a suitable (i.e. non-transliterating) Korean font can be found. -- Problem with Korean default font "Guseul" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
