Problem

시스템 로케일(language)를 English로 설정했을 때 와인으로 실행 중인 카카오톡 PC버전에서 한글이 깨지는 문제 발생. (ㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁ 이런 식으로 깨짐)
I prefer to set my desktop system language(locale) as English. When the system locacle is changed to English, KakaoTalk messenger running on Wine does not display Korean correctly. It shows ‘ㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁ’ instead of Korean characters. (There is no problem when the system language is set to Korean.)

Environment

Mint Linux 17, Wine 1.7, System language (locale) = English

Solution

카카오톡의 프로그램만 Korean locale로 실행한다.
Configure only KakaoTalk program to be run in Korean locale. (System locale is still English.)

즉, 카카오톡 실행아이콘을 텍스트편집기로 연 후, Exec 부분에 env LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8를 추가해준다. (command 앞 뒤로 한칸의 공백이 있어야 하며, wine command 앞에 위치해야 함)
Open KakaoTalk icon with text editer (vi), add env LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 to Exec field. (Each command in Exec field should be separated with a white space. The inserted command should be located before ‘wine ~~~’ command.)

Example)

 Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/yulistic/.wine" env LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/yulistic/.wine/dosdevices/
