[Bug 1221264] Re: Missing font booting

[Steve Langasek]

The initramfs hook that installs the fonts belongs to the plymouth
package.

And the plymouth hook only installs any graphical splash screen in the
initramfs if a plymouth theme is configured that uses the plymouth-label
package, which in turn depends on fonts-dejavu-core.  So how is fonts-
dejavu-core missing from your system?

** Package changed: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) => plymouth (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
