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

[Ernst]

Thanks for your help. 'sudo update-initramfs -u'  does not solve my problem,
so I attached the file you requested.

Title:
  Messages in plymouth splash screen only contain square brackets

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
