Bug Description

ttf-nanum-coding is member of ttf-nanum font family and it provide Korean monospace fonts.
However, Korean letters are 2 times bigger than English letters, so actually it's proportion is even-width.
But, some programs(ex: emacs) can't distinguish even-width and monospace.
As a result, these programs show English letters with lots of space.
Using special fontconfig file which turn off globaladvance at ttf-nanum-coding can solve this problem.

More information can be found at http://dev.naver.com/projects/nanumfont/wiki/TroubleShooting (Korean link but include screenshot and solution code).

fonts-nanum-coding 2.0-2 in Debian already has it.

Just check the Debian archive before creating an Ubuntu specific version.
