Encrypted system and grub2 splashscreen

[debmailist]

I've got encrypted wheezy (encrypted lvm) and I can't change grub2 
splashscreen. The method I'm using: to put file.jpg into /boot/grub (which of 
course is on the unencrypted primary partition) and run update-grub.
I'm sure that encryption is the reason of this problem, because i've tried it 
(the same method and the same .jpg file) on others unencrypted debians and it 
worked just fine there no matter if it was completely clean installation 
without xorg or regular gnome one. To the contrary on every encrypted debian 
installation (clean or with graphical environment) grub splash screen just 
wasn't working.

On unencrypted installation when I run update-grub it says something like 
xxx.jpg was found in. But when system is encrypted it doesn't seem to 
find the file - at least there's no comment about it.
That suggest that the problem occurs at the very moment of update-grub 
procedure - not when the computer is booting. It's update-grub command which 
cannot find the file. And that is strange because the file is on the 
unencrypted /boot partition.

What's the solution here?

ok the problem was unicode.pf2
This font file in normally located in /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 and on 
encrypted systems it isn't detected by update-grub.
The solution is to copy it to /boot/grub

 1. Are file.jpg and xxx.jpg the same file?
 
 2. Is file.jpg mentioned in /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
 
 3. What do you have for GRUB_BACKGROUND in /etc/default/grub?
