[ubuntu-ko] Default fonts for Korean

[Keechang Kim]

Dear Gunnar,

Thanks for the message.

I have applied the fonfiguration file which you suggeted. And the result is
satisfying. The issues I reported in my earlier message somehow
disappeared. I also believe that it is now a good time to migrate to Noto
Sans CJK for Korean language environment.

Regards,

Keechang
