    Description

      Malgun Gothic and Malgun Gothic Semilight should not be included in QFontDatabase::families for SimplifiedChinese nor TraditionalChinese.

      Attempting to use it as a Chinese font results in a mix of two fonts being used (see uploaded file MalgunGothicFontTestSimplifiedChinese.html)

      For the sentence 你为什么那么做?
      __什_那_做? shows as regular sans from Malgun Gothic
      你为_么_么_ shows as anything from thin to black sans or serif from a fallback font{{}}

       

      https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfontdatabase.html#families "Returns a sorted list of the available font families which support the writingSystem."

      https://catalog.monotype.com/family/microsoft-corporation/malgun-gothic "Languages: Basic Latin , Korean"

      Does Malgun Gothic have at least one glyph within the chinese unicode block? Yes.

      Does Malgun Gothic support the Chinese language? No. You can't even say "你好" (hello)
