Sorry, I couldn't read all the bunch of mails.

It failed, because no KSC5601 font was defined in the fontset string.
When a program opens a fontset, the fontset should have all the fonts
which the current locale needs.  In my LANG=ko environment, koi-r
fonts are not searched at all.

It work for now, and for some locales.  gnomecard/gnomecal will crash
in some other locales (ja, zh, th, ...).

OK, I'll just add Korean font.  I'm just happy with that.
