Additional info:

Comment 1 A S Alam 2009-09-17 08:59:04 UTC
Hindi (hi_IN) also has same problem. So lohit is not used, but only alternative fonts.

Comment 2 A S Alam 2009-09-17 09:19:38 UTC
Bengali (India) (bn_IN) has no Fonts at all, only square box, attaching screen-shot

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2009-09-17 12:28:36 UTC
This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.

Comment 4 Parag Nemade 2009-09-17 13:20:57 UTC
I think Madan commit need to be reversed. If Madan font is removed then Nepali language will not work. We need Madan font entry for Nepali language.

Above bug if I have understood clearly said Indic fonts are missing while installing in Indic languages.

When installation is started in any Indic language then one can see on console that no lohit series fonts getting installed. So unable to start installation in that Indic language.

More Aman can provide feedback here.

Comment 5 Parag Nemade 2009-09-17 13:27:05 UTC
We have wiki page for defualt font for Indic languages that need to be present in anaconda.

Something strange must have happened to your attachment:

clumens@localhost:~$ file attachment.cgi\?id\=361528 
attachment.cgi?id=361528: Vim swap file, version 7.2

Can you try attaching it again?
