Description of problem: I'm not sure what the exact cause of this problem with for a while now with recent trees, a warning is appearing on in the startup messages on the console about not finding the bterm font. How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot rawhide install (in Japanese system locale?). 2. Look at boot messages on virtual console. Actual results: 2. missing bterm font error message seen. Expected results: 2. No error.
The actual line on the console is something like "Setting default font (bterm): Can't find font bterm."
Actually "Can't find font file bterm". This happens with even bogl-bterm installed fwiw. I noticed that SYSFONT set in /etc/sysconfig/i18n to bterm: not quite sure why though... so re-assigning to anaconda for info. [This is from a rawhide install last week, updated with yum.]
Chris, can you take a look at this tomorrow?
SYSFONT is set to bterm because of the following line in anaconda's lang-table file: Japanese ja bterm ja_JP.UTF-8 jp106 Asia/Tokyo Is bterm an incorrect setting? Should SYSFONT not be getting specified?
We need bterm for use in the installer, but it's not valid for the general case. I think we used to do some munging to avoid bterm getting written out.
Fixed in CVS.
