SYMPTOMSBecause the Korean currency sign has the same code value as the backslash in U.S. Windows, the backslashes used to represent paths in U.S. Windows are displayed as Korean dollar signs in Korean MS-DOS and Korean Windows. However, if the proper Korean font is not selected, the Korean dollar sign will not be shown as dollar sign in Korean Windows (for example, in an edit control or list box). Instead, it is shown as a backslash as in U.S. Windows.
CAUSEThe reason is that the character (\\ or \x5c) was sent out without selecting the proper font. Either the Hangeul or system font should be selected before sending out this character using drawtext().
STATUSThis behavior is by design.
