1407869 - Use Malgun Gothic as default on Korean on Nightly

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, enhancement)

Description

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

Bug 667364 is closed as invalid, but Windows 7+ default is Malgun Gothic, and Gulim is removed from non-Korean Windows as defualt.

So we should use Malgun Gothic instead of Gulim.  (At first, we changes it on Nightly only for feedback)

Hi, Hyeonseok.   I would like to change default font for Korean since Malgun Gothic is default font of Windows.  How do you think?

The time has come! I think it should be a Malgun Gothic. I will ask to the community about the change after being applied to Firefox Nightly.

Windows Vista or later changes Korean default font to Malgun Gothic.  Windows 10 removes Gulim font on non-Korean Windows, and Gulim becomes an additional font for Korean language pack.  So we should change Firefox's default font to Malgun Gothic.

Also, this change is for Nightly only for feedback.  If this changes is no big issue, I will change it on release channel.
