It should be easy to reproduce on any system. The problem is likely that Plymouth only has fonts in memory that it used prior to the root filesystem being unmounted and moved to RAM. Since the bold font hadn't been used yet and isn't in the initrd, it can no longer be loaded after the root filesystem has transitioned.
I also wonder if it's really worth trying to load another TrueType font into RAM just for this unlikely use case. We could represent bold as brighter colours instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056526 Title: Plymouth's hidden console contains squares instead of bold text To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/2056526/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
