The issue is tracked upstream and it is suggested that: "This is caused by incorrect "horizontal advance widths" in the "hmtx" (Horizontal Matrix) table in "WenQuanYi Micro Hei", causing the Hangul glyphs to overlap one another. Most people usually see this bug in WenQuanYi Micro Hei manifest itself in Chromium but not elsewhere. Strange."
