Korean text is not displayed correctly

Hello.
When I enter text in Korean, it is not displayed correctly.
In the text editor, Korean appears normally while typing.
I would like to know the solution.

Hi Urstein,

LibreCAD relies on its own LFF font library for text rendering.

The current official releases come without any font file with Korean support.

A quick solution is to install a korean font file and restart LibreCAD to select the proper font.

You can download the wqy-unicode.lff from the page:

https://dokuwiki.librecad.org/doku.php/community:fonts

The page also contains instructions on how to create convert TTF fonts to LFF.

Thanks to your guidance, I was able to view Korean text in LibreCAD. Thank you.

However, as stated in the manual, I noticed that for non-English characters, the font strokes are displayed only as hollow outlines rather than filled shapes.

Although I haven’t searched extensively, it seems that support for Chinese characters and Korean is still not sufficient.

I hope that support for Korean will improve further in the future.
