Hi Daejin, I think the problem may be that the font does not fully support the Korean language.

By default, the Curatescape theme uses Google Fonts to embed the PT Serif and Droid Serif fonts.

https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/PT+Serif
https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Droid+Serif

You might want to try disabling those fonts by setting an overriding CSS style.

Thank you Erin.

I changed Google Fonts to Nanum Gothic which is fully support Korean language.

and then, page description problem solved.
special character disappeared!

But, image file description still has special character.
Audio file description has no such a problem. Korean language displayed very well.

I think that Nanum Gothic fonts didn't applied to 'image description field'
how can I apply Korean Google Fonts to image description field?
Need Help ..

One more thing..

'Show caption' button disappeared when I describe image with Korean language.
But of course every description field displayed well when I described in English.

I attatched 2 screenshot.

ImageDescrptn_1.png is described with Korean language on admin page.
ImageDescrptn_2.png is screenshot of user page (Show caption button didn't show..)

Hi Daejin,

The Google Font is not used in the lightbox image viewer (which is called Fancybox). See Fancybox styles at curatescape/javascripts/fancybox/source/jquery.fancybox.css

.fancybox-title {
    font
: 13px/20px "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
}

If none of those fonts are compatible with Korean language, you'll need to change it or add an overriding style. You could add a new style like this in theme settings under Advanced > Custom CSS:

.fancybox-title {
    font
: 13px/20px "Nanum Gothic" !important;
}

The disappearing caption may be related to the Fancybox script, which sometimes gets hung up on special characters. Can you share a link?
