[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#714436: Bug#714436: Only three Hangul glyphs in it

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Hi Changwoo (or is that your family name? I aimed for "first" name),

Quoting Changwoo Ryu (2014-05-10 14:08:14)

> Hangul glyphs.)

Thanks for inspecting and reporting this.

Best is, I believe, to try collaborate upstream on such improvements, as 
else we will effectively create a fork of the font which is generally 
bad for the FLOSS eco system.

If you find it more comfortable to work only with Debian on this, then 
perhaps you could try put together the script that you envision and 
share it as a patch to this bugreport, and others can then pass that 
upstream for their consideration.


Regards,
