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

The bug is known in the upstream and it looks like the problem is caused by incorrect advance width:

http://sourceforge.net/p/wqy/bugs/42/

A package wqy-microhei-kr-patched in AUR is trying to fix this problem. Hopefully it will get 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.
