[Bug 2056526] Re: Plymouth's hidden console contains squares instead of bold text on live session shutdown

[Tim Richardson]

Upstream can reproduce it (with a kubuntu live boot) , they say it is
"weird" and guess: "On shutdown, label-pango is always loaded before
switching the file system, but the font is loaded only when you hit the
Esc key. Once the root file system is unmounted, label-pango no longer
able to access system fonts, just what is located on the shutdown ramfs.
This is why it can be a problem only on shutdown."

Title:
  Plymouth's hidden console contains squares instead of bold text on
  live session shutdown

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Plymouth's hidden console contains squares instead of bold text on
  live session shutdown.

  You can see it by pressing Escape instead of Enter.

  It seems somewhat related to the fix for bug 1942987, which only
  preloads non-bold text for the live session shutdown splash.
