For korean font, ttf-baekmuk is almost dead.
development is stop, people don't use it.

I ask Baekmuk to be replaced with Unfont(ttf-unfonts)

in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf, 13 line :

Baekmuk Batang to UnBatang

and 25, 35 line :

Baekmuk Dotum to UnDotum

Unfont is major nowadays. Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora also
install ttf-unfonts default.

and 20-fix-globaladvance.conf, it's for only Gulim.ttc & Batang.ttc.
it's MS korean font, not GPL.

This scheme is from language-selector-common Ubuntu package :

<match target="font">
        <test name="lang" compare="contains">
                <string>ko</string>
        </test>
        <test name="spacing" compare="eq">
                <const>dual</const>
        </test>
        <edit name="spacing">
                <const>proportional</const>
        </edit>
        <edit name="globaladvance" binding="strong">
                <bool>false</bool>
        </edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
        <test name="lang" compare="contains">
                <string>ko</string>
        </test>
        <test name="outline" compare="eq">
                <bool>false</bool>
        </test>
        <test name="spacing" compare="eq">
                <const>mono</const>
                <const>charcell</const>
        </test>
        <edit name="spacing">
                <const>proportional</const>
        </edit>
        <edit name="globaladvance" binding="strong">
                <bool>false</bool>
        </edit>
</match>

I think it's more suitable. I'd attach a Ubuntu fontconfig file
related ko_KR font.
it would be helpful to adjust Debian nolatin.conf file.
