[Bug 357630] Re: fonts don't match chars used in d-i

[Tobin Davis]

I haven't seen this issue in a while so I am marking it as "Fix
Released".  I have not seen this on any of the images I test with the
alternate installer or net installer.

** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  fonts don't match chars used in d-i

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi

  NB: This might be a bug with the Ubuntu ISOs rather than kvm.

  When installing Ubuntu in kvm, in my case using the jaunty lpia
  alternate install CD (.iso), I see various VGA chars using the wrong
  glyphs.

  I think this is due to the default font used in the kvm VGA adapter,
  but it might be a font loaded by the installer, not sure.

  This is problematic for two things:
  - the dialogs look ugly
  - when prompted to detect keyboard layout, you can chose to type keys appearing on they keyboard, except that d-i tells me to type keys with unreadable glyphs, and hence I can't hit the correct key....

  will attach screenshot.

  I'm running kvm with:
  qemu-img create -f raw hda.img 8G
  kvm -hda hda.img -cdrom *iso -boot d -m 512

  Bye
