I was wondering if N900 can display Korean fonts by default?
Such as for:
- file names (example korean writing = 파일명 (filename in Korean))
- mp3tags
- Browsing Korean websites (such as www.daum.net)
I would at least expect to be able to browse korean web sites but not sure.
If anyone can please test, I would greatly appreciate it.
btw, I've already pre-ordered 2 of N900's anyways.

UPDATE DEC 30th.
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.
You can enter english in the bottom box, then you'll see korean on top box. Then you can press copy button on the bottom right of the top box to highlight the text, then press ctrl+c from the N900 keyboard to copy. (or press copy button from the browser dropdown menu)
3. 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)
Thanks pycage for trying that out. At least I can browse then. =)
goliathz - Awesome to see that there is a solution for N800.
I can also see that there is Korean input solution for N800! http://dev.pinagalli.com/himkor/
But I assume it's not the same solution for N900?
I guess I'll have to wait for someone to come up with a solution...
My dream would be full Korean input/output support on N900.
Chinese work well too!
Off topic; do people love SNSD for the girls or for the music? It seems like everyone like that group for some reason :P
Ahahahhah well if you watch enough of them, you'll start to see their personalities and start liking the girls cuz they're so charming and cute.
music-wise, They're not the best. They have some good songs, and some ok songs, some not worth putting on your music player...
what about you? are you a fan? or do you not like them?
