[Bug 1067348] Re: garbled character appears on the screen after inputting the passphrase of the encrypted hard disk during the boot process

[Steve Langasek]

This is a matter of missing font support in the initramfs.  We probably
need to make the initramfs hook more clever about which fonts it copies
into the initramfs based on the language that's configured.
