Description DaeHyun Sung 2019-05-25 01:49:25 UTC
Description:

I follow up the "Preferred font order for Japanese locale" tdf#14751

I watched the LibreOffice Source code
unotools/source/config/fontcfg.cxx

 #define FALLBACKFONT_UI_SANS_KOREAN "SunGulim;BaekmukGulim;Gulim;Roundgothic;Arial Unicode MS;Lucida Sans Unicode;gnu-unifont;Andale Sans UI"


In Korea, SunGulim font is retired.
It was Linux distribution 
 Nowadays, can't found the many of Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu, )

Now, Many of Linux distribution, default Korean font became a Noto Sans CJK fonts.

Also, Mac OSX and Windows also changed default fonts. gulim to 나눔고딕 and 맑은고딕.

If I'll check specific Korean font environment on many of platforms, I'll submit the source code, change default fonts for Korean locale on LibreOFfice.

Actual Results:
font priority is wrong?

Expected Results:
Nowaday's Using Korean fonts on platforms(Linux, Mac OSX, Windows)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 2 DaeHyun Sung 2019-05-26 06:55:04 UTC
In May 26, 2019,
LibreOffice Asia Conference Day2,  "CJK HackFest"

I discuss about Font ordering and fallbackfonts with Japanese contributor Abe and Taiwanese contributor Mark Hung. 

I showed the font rendering bugs about Japanese kanji(shinjitai/新字体), then Japanese & Taiwanese Contributors.

VCL.xcu's Korean Font list.


belows are Windows fonts
batang, batangche, dotum, dotumche, gulim, gulimche, gungsuh, gungsuhche, myeongjo



Belows are retired Korean font. (Maybe, Sun Microsystems Solaris OS or Sun Microsystem's Java Korean font?)

belows are Sun Solaris fonts
sunbatang(썬바탕), sundotum(썬돋움), sungulim(썬굴림), sungungseo(썬궁서), sunheadline(썬헤드라인), sunmokpan(썬목판)
sunyeopseo(썬엽서), suncrystal(썬크리스탈), sunsaemmul(썬샘물), sunbaeksong(썬백송) kodig(썬고딕), roundgothic(썬 둥근고딕)
(Check the Oracle site: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19504-01/802-7789/6ibcsnfar/index.html )


belows are Hancom’s fonts(maybe check commercial or non-commercial)
haansoftdotum, haansoftbatang

belows are commercial fonts

1. HanYang System Co., Limited (now Hanyang Information & Communications Co., Ltd))
hygothic, hygraphic, newgulim, hygungso, hyhaeseo, hymyeongjolightk, hymyeongjoextra
hysinmyeongjo, hyheadline, hygothicextra, hy목판l, hypost, hy엽서m, hy센스l, hy크리스탈m, hyshortsamul, hy백송b


2. 휴먼시스템(Human System)
yetr(휴먼옛체, HWP and MS word default installed font)

모리스시스템[http://www.morrisdesign.co.kr ] (Manual : http://fontpia.co.kr/new/cc/packege_menual.pdf )
mdsol(MD솔체),mdgaesung(MD개성체), mdart(MD아트), mdeasop(md이솝), mdalong(MD아롱)

below item don't know about license. (only retired software includes the Korean fonts)

magicr(magic R)

so, I'll delete the commercial and sun-family fonts on core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu.
Comment 3 DaeHyun Sung 2019-05-26 07:00:32 UTC
Also, former Korean devloper and contributor don't distinguish Sans-family fonts and Serif-family fonts. 

So, I'll add new FLOSS fonts and delete commercial fonts and retired-os fonts.
(Also MacOS Korean fonts are missing from the list.)
Comment 4 DaeHyun Sung 2019-05-26 07:02:39 UTC
I think It related two Korean font rendering bugs both tdf#121527 and tdf#123061
Comment 5 DaeHyun Sung 2019-06-01 13:15:38 UTC
After Day2 Hackfest, I have just submitted Korean font configs, based on font config discussion that day.


- Set Noto Sans CJK KR as the 1st priority. 
- Set Nanum-series font as the 2nd priority, Such as NanumGothic(나눔고딕),NanumMyeongjo(나눔명조)
- Set KoPub-series font that Korea Publisher Society(한국출판인회의) and Ministry of 
  Culture, Sports and Tourism, Republic of Korea(문화체육관광부) are released
- for Windows vista and later versions, Add default Korean font, Malgun Gothic(맑은고딕)
- for Mac OSX, add default Korean font Apple SD Gothic Neo(Korean: 애플 SD 산돌고딕 Neo) 
- for Mac OSX, Also add Mac OSX fonts Apple Gothic(애플고딕),AppleMyungjo(애플명조)
- remove Sun-style fonts(Maybe Sun StarOffice's legacy)
- remove Hy(한양)-series fonts(Hancom HWP package's font, proprietary font-series) 

Modern Linux distribution's default Korean font-families are Noto Sans&Noto Serif-family
Before Noto Sans font released, UnFont-family was Linux distribition default Korean font.
Early Linux distribution's default Korean font: Baekmuk-family.

Sun-series font rarely use in Korean Linux distribution.
