I have not the same problem as CaucasianAsian.
I gave up long time ago but I'd love to hear if anyone was successful in fixing this.
When someone talks to me in Korean I just type:
이해가 안돼. 한글 못해.
from memory and try to get them to switch to English.
If he begins spamming me in Korean I just reply:
니 엄마.
and get on with the game.

LOL this is gold!!! I had a problem where korean wouldn't work at all and after switching my locale to korea I was able to read korean only in the channel and game list but not in games.. if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know! :D

You simply need to change your format/regional settings to Korean (first tab on language settings).

Go in your region and language settings

Since you already have Korean keyboard settings done...

Select Korean in Formats tab

and then go to Administrative tab and select "Language for non-Unicode programs" to Korean (edit: you've done this already i see)

These should be all you need to read/type korean

Doing these worked perfect for me. Really happy my scbw works perfect on win7.

I have investigated this issue and it seems like Starcraft uses Times New Roman font by default for game list which will result displaying boxes/squares. I had 2 PCs with exact same Regional/Language settings but one had problems displaying Korean font on the game list. The difference was one had Microsoft Office Installed and one didn't. One that had MS Office installed displayed Korean correctly on Starcraft. My guess is that installing MS Office defaults font to Korean instead of The Times New Roman.

I just installed MS Office on another computer and now I am able to display Korean fonts correctly on Battle.net game list.

There's alternate solution which involves altering a registry key.

Go into your HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes
Create a new String Value called "Times New Roman" without quotes.
Input "Gulim" w/o quotes into the value data.

Log off and log in or restart your computer to apply

This should fix your game list display

Also including a registry .key files for those that are too lazy to navigate into the windows registry
Run "Add tnr to gulim" and it will add the needed registry key
Run "Remove tnr to gulim" and it will remove the key and revert back to original state

Dude, thanks SO MUCH. I set location/format to Korean (I forgot to do that), but the list was still messed up.
I even have Microsoft Office 2010 on my computer, but I don't know why it didn't work.

I tried your registry solution, and it worked!

I can see the list now!

Also, is that FontSubstitutes thing what it sounds like? Because some font on TeamLiquid also changed.

That's pretty cool-- I think I'll replace Times New Roman with Comic Sans or something (although I doubt Comic Sans supports Korean).

Thanks for your help!

Yup I forgot to explain that part but that does what it exactly sounds like. It substitutes Times New Roman font to Gulim font. So whenever you're system tries to use TNR font, it will use Gulim font instead. So when you have the need to use the real TNR font later on, you can remove the registry key that's been added.

BTW, you don't need to set the location to Korean, that part is unnecessary. But you do need to set the format to Korean.

I'm going to give this a try. That makes sense as before I upgraded my PC to Windows 7 I could see Korean in the games list. But after i upgraded I forgot to install microsoft office. I'll post a response to let others know it works in the event that it does!

This does fix the problem! Just got around to it. It didn't work at first, but a lot of stuff doesn't "fix" until you restart your computer. So after I restarted my computer after installing microsoft office, it worked.

The problem is that only the more expensive W7 versions can change the regional language settings, it's simply missing in my MSDNAA version.
