[Bug 1559933] Re: [Grub] There are messy codes on displaying Chinese characters in grub after install xenial-desktop_0320.

[Jiulun.Du]

I'm re-uploading my screenshot in my duplicated report.

As you can see, in recent versions of Grub, all recovery and old kernel
entries reside in "高级选项" (Chinese for "advanced options"). In 29 version
from wily, the four characters are displayed fine; while in 36 version
from xenial, only "级" is shown correctly and the other three are boxed
question marks, meaning the character cannot be displayed by the font.

I didn't test 29 font with 36 version, but the font does become smaller,
and this is nonetheless a regression.

BTW, this is the first screen most Chinese users will see when they boot
Ubuntu (not just Kylin, all Ubuntu variants).
