Description
We need to make Korean a supported language on Mercury in 1.4.2_03.

Currently, Jre is not in capable of displaying Korean(Hangeul) on Mercury due to the lack of font.properties files on the Jre release.


How to reproduce:

Install a mercury build, e.g. build12.
 (let me know if you dont have one)
get a java testsuite with CharView.
log into ko_KR locale(there is a bug in gdm.. before you do that see Evaluation)
run java CharView 
Type AC00 for Korean character range.
find it is not displaying Korean.(Korean is U+AC00 and higher).

EVALUATION There are two new fonts delivered to Mercury to support Korean which can be properly configured in font.properties files to support Hangeul(Korean). I have already sent new font.properties files to Murali(###@###.###). There are two bugs impairing the function along with font.properties files. Please download the following 2 files and copy to the following locations. /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/fonts.dir /etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias and java properties files into ...jre/lib/ . Run some java CharView classes with text range U+AC00 or higher. ###@###.### 2003-11-21 tiger already supports koran on jds, the only thing left is to "upgrade" to the new delivered korean tt fonts which is supposed to have better quality. target for tiger-beta2. ###@###.### 2003-12-19 The Makefile change was not putback into 1.4.2_04, so even the properties files are in ws they don't exist in binary. Will use 4978502 to trace this issue in 1.4.2_05 ###@###.### 2004-02-02
