Bug ID: 515475
Summary: Breeze-plymouth decrypt password missing bullet font
Classification: Plasma
Product: Breeze
Version First 6.5.5
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Plymouth
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the `breeze-plymouth` theme, the font in the password both doesn't
work, and instead shows the white boxes/tofu symbols.
This can be fixed by forcing `/usr/lib/plymouth/label-pango.so` into the image
via `BINARIES` in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`. (Manually placing the pango font into
the initramfs image.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
_Note that the issue is observed when entering an encryption password, so that
first must be enabled on the system._
1. Install plymouth and breeze-plymouth
2. Enable breeze theme with plymouth (via plymouth-set-default-theme breeze or
config files)
3. Update HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to include plymouth
4. Rebuild initramfs and reboot
The font will be broken and show the white boxes/tofu symbols. This is fixed if
/usr/lib/plymouth/label-pango.so is added to BINARIES in mkinitcpio.conf.
OBSERVED RESULT
The text input box for the encryption password shows `▯` symbols or nothing at
all.
EXPECTED RESULT
The text input box for the encryption password shows `•` symbols.
