keikel - wow, I'm glad Korean works for both browsing and to display the file names. Did you have to do something special to get the Korean fonts to appear for the mp3 file names? Does it appear fine for video file names also? =)
Now all I pray for is for proper Korean input support using the physical keyboard. (well, virtual keyboard will be okay too but I would really prefer hardware of course)

Why is everyone posting pics, but no one is explaining how it's done?

I've tried copying Korean named files, music, videos and browsed korean sites. It ALL shows up with boxes. I don't see any Korean fonts properly displayed.
What do I need to do? Copy Korean fonts to the N900?

okay. I've followed this methos and copied the korean font to the phone.
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=16
Now I can see korean in both Fennec and MicroB.
Also, the filenames now show up in Korean also. Cooool.
(Not everything however, some still show up as garbled.)

Here's an update of what I found so far.
I'm still new to all this so not sure if this is all or is the best methods.
I've added this to my first post. Hope we can get more Koreans here. =)
---
1. US version of N900 doesn't come with Korean capable fonts it seems. But if you install DROID fonts, it will display Korean for file names, xterm, media player, mp3 id tags, web sites in both Fennec and MicroB without issues.
2. If you don't want to install DROID fonts, just copy your own Korean font on to the memory card, launch xterm then use following commands. (use your own font filenames for the mv/cp command) You will need to reboot after this.
sudo gainroot
mv fontname.tff /usr/share/fonts
fc-cache -f -v
For Inputting Korean:
There are 2 methods:
1. Use GNU emacs as per instruction in this thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37242
Then you can type Korean in emacs, then copy/paste to wherever.
2. Use mscim which is available at extras-devel repository. (know about dangers of extras-devel)
Need to install:
- mscim
- mscim-modules-table
- mscim-tables-ko
The input works as if it's native but the Korean syntax is not fully correct yet. It tries to create a character using 3 consonents/vowels all the time and doesn't know about the smaller / larger characters. So you will need to manually press spacebar or enter to move to input next character. It's annoying but it's useable still. I hope this gets corrected. Also, this will disable the function+Sym key for inputting other symbols. Which means no tilda or pipe symbols unless you remap your hardware keyboard... (only way it to uninstall it from my experience)
More info is here: (do google translate)

@keiel
Use ctrl+space to switch between English mode and other IMEs.
@jakiman
The symbol input panel (Fn+Sym) is under developing.
Well, for the Korean input bug, could you give me more example? Since I know nothing about Korean charater and input methods. So, it would be better to give me some examples like which keys you pressed, and what do you purpose to have.
And are there any Japanese guys could help to test inputting Japanese?
Since I'm Chinese, I could only test and optimize it for Chinese input methods modules.

Hi firstfan, regarding Korean input:
It seems it doesn't know Korean characters. Just allows typing of consonents and vowels but doesn't know when it should go to the next character. So it tried to make a 3 consonent/vowel character everytime.
Example:
Hana (is "one" in Korean pronounced 'ha-na')
ㅎ = h
ㄴ = n
ㅏ = ah
Should be "하나" (type "gksk" while in Hangul input mode)
But right now, it types it as "한ㅏ". (That's han-a not ha-na)
So instead of ha-na, it types it as han-a (in Korean language, a vowel by itself cannot make up a separate character) So it should automatically detect that I typed a vowel "a" after the word "han" and pull the "n" out of "han" and make it "na" for the second character.
Korean character involves a minimum 1 consonent and 1 vowel combination and it can have more(3, 4 or 5). But not just 1 by itself.
Another example is a 4 component character:
찮 (type "cksg")
ㅊ = ch
ㅏ = ah
ㄴ = n
ㅎ = h
Above character cannot be made as it ends up being: 찬ㅎ
If you want to compare what MSCIM does to what it should be, try this website.
You can type english in the bottom box to get the correct Korean on top.
http://www.try-to-be-mensch.de/korea...ime-korean.htm
Anyways, thank you so much for getting it to work at least partially so far.
Hopefully one day it works much better. =)
btw, I noticed that mscim and mscim-tables-ko is not available anymore? (I uninstalled it so I can use the extra symbols)
