Bug#641751: grub2: Missing characters (Umlaute) on a encrypted system (LUKS on LVM)

[Stefan Nagy]

I did a fresh install of Debian Jessie last week and realized that this
issue seems to be solved in grub2 2.00-22.

Some time after I reported this bug I found out that the workaround
mentioned in message #12 of bug 617196 [1] worked for me. Since then I
didn't check if this is still a problem.

This time I used LVM within an encrypted partition again, so /boot was
the only partition available at boot time (same as in September 2011
when I reported this bug). As of now it seems the font which was missing
before (unicode.pf2) is now installed not only in /boot/grub/ but also
in /boot/grub/fonts/.

Bug#641751: grub2: Missing characters (Umlaute) on a encrypted system (LUKS on LVM)

[Stefan Nagy]

Package: grub2
Severity: minor

Seems like grub2 is missing some characters for the german translation when
everything but the boot-partition is encrypted. I get a ? instead of ä, ü,
ö, ß…

I read in a german ubuntu-forum [1] that maybe grub2 is missing the
unicode.pf2-font, since it's placed in /usr/share/grub/. However, I had no luck
with the second workaround (to get a correct german translation)…
