Screenshot of missing fonts

Description of problem:
The graphical installer for Modular Server requires some fonts to be present that are not currently available in the "Fonts" module.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-Modular-27-20171026.n.3

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the DVD or netinst ISO images

Actual results:
Fonts look odd, non-English characters and password-field characters are missing and replaced with unicode placeholders


Expected results:
The installer should provide the usual fonts for all supported languages.

The fonts anaconda needs can be found in lorax, in share/templates.d/99-generic/runtime-install.tmpl . dunno last time that list was trimmed.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2017-10-27 01:29:37 UTC
Note, until this is fixed openQA won't be able to test the media, cos I ain't retaking all the screenshots. :P

Comment 4 Stephen Gallagher 2017-10-27 12:55:53 UTC
The fonts module now includes the necessary fonts. This should be fixed in the next compose.

As of compose Fedora-Modular-27-20171027.n.2, nearly all of the appropriate fonts are present, though several languages are still clearly missing.

Discussed during the 2017-10-30 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this bug as an AcceptedBlocker was made as it violates the following blocker criteria:

"The installer must correctly display all sufficiently complete translations available for use", as it cannot display translations it does not have the fonts for.
