Bug Description

Binary package hint: language-selector

According to my research, the file "29-language-selector-ko-kr.conf" in /etc/fonts/conf.avail was first designed by early Korean Ubuntu users for displaying fonts from MS Windows correctly.
They thought Korean fonts from MS Windows looks better when anti-alias is turned off at specific size range.
However, thesedays, this file makes problems and setting from it is unnecessary now.
Many Korean Ubuntu users erase this file right after installing Ubuntu!
This is not a bug that suddenly appeared, it's an old one and known well among Korean Ubuntu users.

This file is not necessary anymore, so please remove it.
There's no problem reported after removing this file.

p.s If this bug is fixed in the future, will it only affects for *buntu?
I'm wondering whether it affects other linux distributions.

----------This is list of problems in file "29-language-selector-ko-kr.conf"----------
This file makes Korean fonts to turn off antialias and hinting in size 10~22 except some fonts so many Korean fonts are viewing ugly.
And, in 10.10 it makes some English fonts size 8~16 turn off antialias.
Control spacing property for Korea is unnecessary setting.
There is no font "Guseul Mono" in Ubuntu default setting with Korean translation pack installed.

---Modified for some English grammar fix
