Bug Description

I started subiquity in French and picked "identify the keyboard". Stepping through the steps (press the two characters, then "no" for everything else, until reaching the end).

Some glyphs do not appear; this doesn't help figuring out whether the keys are present (they show as the generic losange for a missing glyph).

Furthermore, at the very end, after showing that my keyboard was detected as US English, subiquity crashes completely; restarting from the beginning.

Hmm I wonder how d-i handles the glyph issue, does it change console font for each option or something?

I've fixed the crash in git.
