Title:
  freetype 2.5.x broke rendering of the default Korean font

Status in FreeType: High Quality Font Rendering:
  Unknown
Status in “freetype” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ubuntu-settings overrides org.gnome.settings-
  daemon.plugins.xsettings.hinting to "slight" , while GNOME default was
  "medium". This broke rendering of NanumGothic, the default font for
  Korean language, in default installation.

  I have no idea on what ground this value has been overridden, but it
  critically broke Korean language desktop.
