[Bug 181334] Re: Garbled whiptail dialog from gdm error

[jtniehof]

Because 60600 is marked fixed and appears to be the underlying issue,
I'm marking this fixed as well.

[Bug 181334] Re: Garbled whiptail dialog from gdm error

[era]

** Summary changed:

- Default console font unsuitable for debconf / whiptail
+ Garbled whiptail dialog from gdm error

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: console-data
  
  I am aware of bug 60600 but as a partial workaround and general remedy,
  I would like to suggest that the default console font should be one
  which is capable of displaying whiptail dialogs correctly, or else the
  debconf whiptail dialogs changed to not try the somewhat capricious task
  of drawing borders with characters which are often not rendered
  correctly.
