> When writing hangul, the characters are not formed correctly. For example if I input ㄹ and ㅐ, I get 래 , which is not correct, because the result should be simply 랖. If I want to get 랖 I have to type ㄹ ㅏ ㅍ which doesn't make too much sense, although it works regularly.

Please make the issue clear. Are you sure you think following
sequences are incorrect?

ㄹ + ㅐ -> 래
ㄹ + ㅏ + ㅍ -> 랖

These are actually quite correct ones.

This might be a font issue. Some Hangul fonts have incorrect glyphs
assigned. Please try to change your font.

> I believe this is caused by some mismatch with packages. I believe libhangul (0.1.0-3) is the one that determines the composition. This same problem appears with scim and ibus, and even with online typers (https://www.branah.com/korean), so the problems should be with them (for example with windows 7 the branah site works normally). As I do not know the whole picture I could of course be wrong and there is another issue behind this. I am in any case sure that this is not a question about character encoding or fonts, which work well on my system.
