Hi all,

Forwarding this to get more attention from Korean users and developers.
If no one objects, I'll start working on the transtion so that it can be
tested with F17 Alpha.

Regards,

Hi,

I heard that Ubuntu is going to change the default Korean font from
un-core to nanum within their P release cycle:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.discuss/13090
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/836430

Since I maintain both font packages in Fedora, I would like to ask
Korean users whether it is a good thing to do as well in F17.

AFAIK, the only concern discussed there was that they dropped
nanum-coding font (a monospace variant of nanum-gothic, distributed as a
separate upstream tarball) from the default install, due to size
limitation.  I guess we could also simply mark it as optional in comps
(like un-extra-*-fonts).

Regards,
