I very much agree with iGEL in many ways. Korean fonts and input method
were far better in Jaunty than in Karmic.

I've had to do a lot of guessing just to get readable Korean fonts by
adjusting the default fonts in System>Preferences>Appearance and had to
adjust separately in Firefox's Preferences>Content>Fonts &
Colors>Advanced>Fonts for: Korean.

And to use reasonable fonts in NateOn (Korea's very popular messenger),
using the qtconfig program in the repos (which says it's specifically
for fixing CJK fonts for KDE programs in Gnome) does nothing except make
a config file unused by programs... so I had to copy the relevant font
parts from that to the ~/.kde/share/configkdeglobals file.

Also, IBus for Korean doesn't even have the ability to enter very
commonly-used special characters like Scim and MS' IME do, yet it
automatically replaces Scim...

I think it's very important for every aspect of the languages on Linux
to be easily found and configurable. It's important that multiple fonts
can be used at the same time (for translators, language-learners, etc).
Also, it's very important for font, language, and input method options
to be very easy to find and change (the Language Support program was
almost the only reason I ever considered Ubuntu when I started using
Linux because it was impossibly difficult to change the language when I
was a new user and trying LiveCD distros).

I hope I didn't go too far off topic, sorry, but this simple issue has
caused a lot of problems for me since starting Linux. Thanks for the
attention to the issue~
