Re: Problem with Korean involving fonts and fontconfig

2005/8/14, Chuck Williams <chuck@manawiz.com>:

I'm new to i18n and font issues in Debain.  I've loaded xfonts-baekmuk
package to get Korean fonts, along with the relevant scim and uim
packages for a Korean input method.  The font files are properly
installed into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/.  dfontmgr verifies that
they are installed according to defoma.

However, fc-list does not show them installed according to fontconfig.
In fact, fc-list :lang=ko is empty.  Also, applications that use fontmgr
get an error on start-up or other early operation that does not
necessarily involve any Korean.  For example, xemacs complains at
start-up with:

Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

and then complains further after the first C-x C-f with:

(1) (xim-xlib/warning) Can't get fontset resource for Input Method

I've done fc-cache -vf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi to try to get
fontconfig to recognize the baekmuk fonts.  This operation rebuilds the
cache for all the other 75dpi fonts, but ignores the baekmuk font files
without complaining.

Also, I've loaded openoffice.org-l10n-ko package to get Korean fonts in
openoffice and attempted to configure things, but the Korean fonts do
not show as available in the fonts list.  Also, Tools Hangul/Hanja
conversation... menu item has appeared, but clicking it does nothing.

Can anybody provide some tips to get past these obstacles?

Thanks,

Chuck
