Description Jens Petersen 2005-04-27 02:20:47 UTC 
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.
Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2005-04-27 03:21:59 UTC 
The actual line on the console is something like

"Setting default font (bterm): Can't find font bterm."
Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2005-04-27 03:28:57 UTC 
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?
Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2005-04-27 14:29:21 UTC 
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?
Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2005-04-27 20:00:38 UTC 
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.
