The most seen sympton is character's upmost part is not shown and it can make impossible to read or confused with different character(ex: 줄 & 출). * Test case: Copy and paste '를' to gedit. Open gucharmap, find 를 (U+B97C), and see character in [Character Details] tab. Compare it. Upmost horizontal line should apear properly in gedit like as gucharmap's detailed view. Change account name to '를' and logout. See account name show properly in greeter. * Regression potential: check that text rendering is fine in the greeter and session, using different fonts and locales ------- ubuntu-settings overrides org.gnome.settings- daemon.plugins.xsettings.hinting to "slight" , while GNOME default was "medium". This broke rendering of NanumGothic, the default font for Korean language, in default installation. I have no idea on what ground this value has been overridden, but it critically broke Korean language desktop. screenshots from #1303572 14.04 https://launchpadlibrarian.net/172899667/1404_font.jpg 12.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1303572/+attachment/4084748/+files/1204_font.jpg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/freetype/+bug/1310017/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
