** Description changed:

  If you install Korean language pack in Ubuntu, Ubuntu will install a Korean 
font "Guseul" which is contained in ttf-alee package. This font has big 
problem. Run "Character Map" and select "Guseul" font, and click "Han"(Chinese 
Character). You'll see Hangul instead of Chinese Character. For example 
  "U+4E00" should be "一", but this font print Hangul "일" instead of Chinese 
character "一".
  
  Other problem is this font is one of default Korean font in fontconfig.
  So firefox use it as default monospace font. It makes Ubuntu users
  cannot read Chinese character amongst Korean scripts.
  
  So I contacted with alee who made this font, he/she said he/she added
  this feature on purpose, so it's not a bug. I discuss about this problem
  in Korean community, some people "Guseul" font has problem, because it
  print Hangul instead of Chinese character, so it should be removed
  amongst package of Korean fonts. Other people said it is feature of
  "Guseul" font, so it's not a bug. But all people agree with fontconfig
  should be fixed and change default Korean font on Ubuntu.
- 
- Mait(마잇) maintains Korean fontconfig, so I sent a mail to him/her few
- days ago. But I cannot receive a answer. I think he/she could not
- receive a mail or maintain this problem now, so I hope someone else
- solve this problem.
