Screenshot of GRUB showing no text after "e"

Description of problem:

I know that there are a number of similar bugs, but if you look to the screenshots of my bug and theirs you see a fundamental difference. So please do not "DUPLICATE" right away.

In Fedora 18 Alpha RC2 after installation and reboot grub shows its menu. By pressing "e" I could change the commands to use in grub. The problem is, that grub does not show anything.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grub2-2.00-5.fc18.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora
2. Reboot
3. Press 'e' in grub
  
Actual results:
No text to display

Expected results:
text with commands of grub

Pressing "c" gives a console, which basically works. It has a font and text to show, but it is BIG. See attached screenshot.

Probably some variation of bug 848884

Comment 3 Mads Kiilerich 2012-09-12 13:15:22 UTC
I have seen this when I messed up my fonts manually.

I am confident that the root cause / solution is the same as bug 848884.

FWIW, I guess I meant to say bug 850783.
