Title:
  Change default Korean font to ttf-nanum

Bug description:
  This report affects ubuntu-desktop, language-support-fonts-ko and language-selector-common.
  Since Sep. 2007, ttf-unfonts-core has been a suggested package of ubuntu-desktop. In a default install, Unfonts are set as the default Korean font.
  A superior quality Korean font (ttf-nanum) became available as from late 2010 under OFL. In May 2011, Google ChromeOS adopted ttf-nanum as the default Korean font. After an extensive discussion in the Ubuntu Korean LoCo Mailing list since last year, a consensus has now been reached that it is time to migrate to ttf-nanum as the default Korean font in Ubuntu. 
  To achieve this, (1) ttf-unfonts-core (7.4Mb package size) must be replaced with ttf-nanum (7.5Mb package size) as the suggested package of ubuntu-desktop (2) language-support-fonts-ko should now include ttf-unfonts-core and ttf-nanum-coding (3) appropriate changes need to be made in some of the configurations files shipped with language-selector-common and fontconfig-config (proposed patches are attached herewith).
