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/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-settings/+bug/1310017/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
