    I tried to install Korean language like;

    $ sudo apt-get install language-pack-ko

    It seemed that installed well. But what I saw were the characters shaped of square box,

    and I couldn't find 'language support' on 'system settings', and 'Keyboard Layout' showed me limited setting.

    How can I see proper Korean language on my web browser and ubuntu as well?

    Hi,
    I just made it support Chinese on my system. I also came across the "square" problem, which is caused by lacking of fonts file. I finally solved it by transfering the fonts files in my Win8 to Ubuntu.

    Firstly, pick up the fonts you like in C:\Windows\Fonts ,and copy them to a new filefolder(e.g. "winfonts").

    Then use your USB flash disk to transport the filefolder to your ubuntu. Pay attention, to read or write system files in ubuntu requires root authority, so you should open the folder with $ sudo gnome-open /usr/share/fonts/ ,then copy "winfonts"folder to this direction.

    After that, we need modify the authorities of each font file in order that you can read or write them. Right click on the files, in properties option you can't miss it.

    WIth all above done, we come to the final step, open your terminal and input

    cd /usr/share/fonts/winfonts/

      sudo mkfontscale

      sudo mkfontdir

      sudo fc-cache -fv

    Then reboot UDOO, enjoy it!

    (I'm sorry for my poor English, hope it can help.)
