I did change fonts to fontsets, because, fonts were hardcoded and
there is/was no way to change them in gtkrc files. Correct solution is
to use standart  collection of font styles throughout GNOME, and control 
that collection vi gtkrc file. 

Did you read previous discussion on that topic?

Strange! Do you have ISO8859-1 fonts installed? I know that when fontset 
fails to find koi-r fonts it just resorts to iso8859-1.

 I do!(I actually do not understend what you are going to do) I'd
prefer if you just add korean fonts to a fontset. It is not a proper
solution, but it will work for now.  Later we will have a set of
generic fonts styles defined via gtkrc.
