How to Enable Korean Text [Solved]
Hello I am an Arch newbie, and have a question regarding fonts. I followed the official installation guide and successfully installed Arch. However, when I attempt to watch Korean movies on YouTube, the text appears as little boxes. Referring back to the installation guide, I uncommented "ko_KR.EUC-KR" and "ko_KR.UTF-8", then ran "locale-gen". Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem.
I know people on this forum get annoyed when newcomers post without doing research first, however I tried doing research; maybe I don't know where to specifically look to find my answer(s). Any help regarding how to enable system-wide support for Korean text (while keeping English as default system language) would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and have a great day.

Have you installed a font that can render Korean glyphs?

I just did. I installed a package called "ttf-baekmuk", from the "extra" repository, and now it works perfectly. I thought the issue was with the system configuration; turns out I just had to install the necessary ttf package from the Extra repo. Thank you for your reply.
