Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Attempting to read Korean wikipedia.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I was unable to resolve the problem through the installation of
fonts-freefont-ttf
* What was the outcome of this action?
Currently, most korean websites render with unicode "boxes" instead of the
characters themselves. Interestingly, I am able to type some characters on
https://www.branah.com/korean, but most still come up as boxes.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Vanilla IceWeasel should be able to render Korean if the fonts are installed.

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
