[Bug 1003480] Re: please consider shipping Ubuntu font in the initramfs-tools

[Steve Langasek]

One point that was discussed at UDS was that it should be possible to
pre-render images for all the strings we need to display, and include
those in the initramfs instead, saving space.  I think we should look
into that here - it would make it unnecessary to pick and choose fonts
by hand when assembling the initramfs.

Bug description:
  Currently:
          # and copy the font support files needed in order to actually display
          # any text
          mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu
          mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/conf.d
          cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf ${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/
          cp /etc/fonts/fonts.conf ${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
          cp -L /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf ${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/conf.d

  
  Please consider using Ubuntu font, is the glyph coverage is comparable.
