Thank you pierre for your help.
I did your procedures but unfortunately, the problem is still exist. I get
??????? in grub boot screen when enabling Arabic language in grub.cfg
Below is the current grub.cfg file:
# Begin /boot/grub/grub.cfg
set root=(hd0,3)
set locale_dir=(hd0,3)/boot/grub/locale
loadfont (hd0,3)/boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2
set lang=arabic
set language=arabic
set default=0
set timeout=5
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.19-lfs-7.7" {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,3)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.19-lfs-7.7 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd /boot/initramfs-3.19.0.img
}
menuentry "Ubuntu" {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,2)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=/dev/sda2 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic
}
