** Description changed:

  * Impact:
  the rendering of some Korean fonts is incorrect
  
  * Test case:
- use trusty/Unity with a Korean locale, check the fonts rendering
+ 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.
