I remember it works on my Ubuntu 10.10, but I haven't tried on newer
Ubuntu releases.
However, the 'lang' tester is useful for other scenarios, namely when
you use a non-Korean locale and want to browse Korean websites, or text
snippets which have been tagged with lang=ko in their XML/HTML markup.
In that case firefox at least will choose the correct font automatically
if it hasn't been specified in the XML/HTML markup itself.
Also, at least on Ubuntu 10.10 that works.
Not sure if other applications also support that functionality.
