[SOLVED]Foreign Fonts (Korean)

I want to be able to see and type Korean. I've installed all the Korean fontsets in the Fonts wiki (although 1 of them no longer existed) and I can only find 1 korean font in xfontsel. I set the terminal font to that 1 korean font, but I don't know how to convert my keyset and it draws this line on above my letters. I also tried changing the dwm font to korean so that I can see what Korean song is playing on mpd in conky, but it spits out some korean gibberish instead. Strangely, the font looks fine in ncmpcpp except the lines it creates.

After Scrolling up:
tN2k2dQ

After Scrolling down:
tN2k2dg

After being out of focus:
tN2k2bQ

So how can I fix this, or are other available korean fonts? How do I type Korean?

Re: [SOLVED]Foreign Fonts (Korean)

You might want to look into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33193 that will give you dwm patched for pango which supports hangul.  For typing you need to change your locale, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale  It's been a while since I set up Korean input for my wife, and then she went back to windows shortly thereafter, so I've forgotten most of the exact steps you need to take.

Can't believe I didn't even bother googling. Shame on me.

ibus works great for korean input.
