[failsafeXinit] Hebrew glyphs appear as squares

[Yaron]

Binary package hint: xorg

Hebrew is not displayed correctly in failsafeXinit, is there any way to make it work the way Debian Installer renders Hebrew?

If its not possible we should disable the Hebrew translation.

This bug is potentially a security vulnerability since an unexperienced user can't determine what should he do in case of graphics failure or recovery mode, thus making the computer unusable or may lead to unwanted actions that could harm the operating system.

Kind regards,
Yaron Shahrabani.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
