Re: error of Korean font
Hi!
There was change in 1.75 regarding Korean but it could not affect others. In newest Samsung ROMs Korean is in SamsungKorean.ttf, so Neutron is looking it up, if not found falling back to other fonts. So only SamsungKorean.ttf was added into a font search. Did you have previous version working correctly? Do you have possibility to access /system/fonts folder on your device?

Re: error of Korean font
G2 is made by LG, not Samsung.
Therefore, in the system/font folder, there is no SamsungKorean.ttf.
Instead of it, LG_Dialfont.ttf, LG_SmartGothic-Bold.ttf , etc. there are many LG_blabla.ttf fonts.
Before updating, some of Korean songs appeared incorrectly. They appeared as broken characters (not just rectangles).
And most of songs appeared correctly.

Re: error of Korean font
Is there possibility to have a full list of LG fonts? E.g. I am interested to Korean specific. As you noticed Samsung named them SamsungKorean.ttf, so may be there is something similar in LG_ family?
As to file tags: Neutron does not support obsolete codepages per country but supports fully UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 unicode standard. Very often tags are not encoded in UTF and thus Neutron will show wrong characters. Could you please e-mail to neutronmp@gmail.com one file as example for checking, to be sure that it is strictly font support issue.

Re: error of Korean font
I checked the e-mailed music file. It has Korean specific encoding, not UTF and thus Neutron will not display such tags correctly. My advise is to make music database as portable as possible (hardware players will also like UTF) and convert metadata to UTF-8 format. It can be done with free PC app Mp3Tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/). Simply drag & drop top-level music folder to it, select all entries (Ctrl + A) and press Save button. Tags will be resaved to UTF-8. Make sure you made a backup of music files just in case something goes wrong.
Re: error of Korean font
hm... I sent one more e-mail...
The music file that I gave you was also changed to UTF-8 tag...
It worked correctly in last Neutron MP version.
Would you check one more time please?

Re: error of Korean font
Finally the bug was localized. It was inside the code which was trying to find the Korean font using the list of known system Android fonts. Sadly due to typo (that is why it was difficult to catch it) 1.75.0 on some Android firmwares will have no Korean glyphs. Next update will fix it. Thank you very much for pointing to the issue and for your kind help with files!
