Bug#235610: openoffice.org: Texts in menus and dialogs are broken in ko_KR.eucKR

[Joo-won Jung <sanori@sanori.net>]

Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.0-3
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

In LANG=ko_KR.eucKR, (non-ASCII) characters in menus and dialogs
of openoffice are shown as rectangles.

I have installed ttf-baekmuk (korean true type font),
xfonts-baekmuk (75 dpi Korean font), msttcorefonts (which inclues Arial), 
xfonts-intl-japanese, xfonts-intl-japanese-big,
xfonts-base(-transcodes), and so on.

* Work-around: I solved this problem by setting the font replacement table
  from "Arial" to "Baekmuk Gulim". But it makes me not use Arial font
  in ooimpress, etc.
  
*NOTE* that the replacement from "Andale Sans UI" to Korean font,
which is mentions in README.Debian.gz, DOES NOT WORK. I guess there are
something strange in building openoffice.

Since I want to use Arial font in my presentation, I tried as follows.
But both trials are failed.

* First try: remove msttcorefonts.
  According to
  http://gsl.openoffice.org/files/documents/16/347/FontTroubleshooting.sxw ,
  this problem originate from the Arial font. Therefore I removed
  msttcorefonts packages, which includes Arial font. But, this changes
  the rectangles (broken characters) to blanks. :-P

* Second try: modify VCL.xcu
  I modified the font mapping file,
  /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu 
  to designate Baekmuk Gulim as the font for UI_FIXED and UI_SANS
  in ko-kr locale. But, it does not work.
  
Anyway, I want to use Arial font (or its alternative) and using it in
Korean environment.

Any ideas?
