[Bug 881111] [NEW] Messages in plymouth splash screen only contain square brackets

Mon Oct 24 21:29:24 UTC 2011

Public bug reported:

If I boot my Oneiric install, sometimes a message (For example, a
message is shown during a fsck disk check) is shown/ However, I cannot
read the message as there are only square brackets shown (or maybe
little squares).

I think I miss some font, but I don't know which one (and maybe it is
caused by something else). I'm running Oneiric 64 bit, with fglrx
drivers. The install is an upgrade from 11.04.
