Bug#784252: iceweasel: Iceweasel does not render Korenan

[Bruno Beltran]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.6.0esr-1
Severity: important
Tags: l10n

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
    Attempting to read Korean wikipedia.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
    I was unable to resolve the problem through the installation of
    fonts-freefont-ttf

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   Currently, most korean websites render with unicode "boxes" instead of the
   characters themselves. Interestingly, I am able to type some characters on
   https://www.branah.com/korean, but most still come up as boxes.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   Vanilla IceWeasel should be able to render Korean if the fonts are installed.
