Description:

Korean glyphs overlap with each other when using the font wqy-microhei.

See:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-wqy-microhei/+bug/1258520
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=85890
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=233851

A debian package fonts-wqy-microhei already fixed this problem and is used by a package wqy-microhei-kr-patched in AUR. Hopefully the problem will be fixed here as well.

Both screenshots are given.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

Name : wqy-microhei
Version : 0.2.0_beta-7

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install wqy-microhei with pacman.
2. Use an application to display Korean glyphs, say, LANG=ko_KR.utf8 smplayer.
3. Watch them overlapped.

Hello,

It's almost 3 years and we arch users are still using the outdated buggy version?

I just checked the PKGBUILD and it's sourcing the very old sourceforge upstream.

Consider switching to patched sources or adding a patch here.

Hello, this issue still persists, 5 years after this was reported, even if it's been fixed on other distribution. Is anything being planned for this font?
