[Bug 433897] Re: [karmic] does not set font since upstart transition

[Ivan Frederiks]

This problem is still present in Precise. There is a nice workaround in
#632382 discussion. Any plans on fixing this bug?

Title:
  [karmic] does not set font since upstart transition

Status in “console-setup” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: console-setup

  Since the Karmic transition away from init.d scripts to upstart
  services has started, the font is no longer set at bootup. This
  results in unreadable user prompts, whenever applications output non-
  ascii characters to screen and it also affects graphic box characters
  used by ncurses, such as for debconf dialogs.
