Re: Call for friendly-recovery testing
Hebrew has the same problem as Arabic so I guess RTL would work perfectly and there are Hebrew terminal fonts. The solution implemented in the Debian installation is just great but AFAIK is not perfect. I reported a bug about this issue against failsafe-x in the past.

This bug is related to friendly-recovery which is used in order to solve unbootable situation that X setting is broken or disks are fully filled. It can be accessed from an entry on bootloader. Currently in some locales like Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the menu has unreadable characters. You can see the example screenshot[2]. This issue comes from limited fonts which we can use on console. To show all characters properly, friendly-recovery is needed to use framebuffer. Implement of the solution would take some time. So we are going to make loading translations disable on affected locales as a workaround. To do so, we need complete list of affected locales. You can test whether your locale is affected along with the steps below. Currently zh_*, ja_JP and ko_KR are confirmed as affected, so no need to test on that locales. 1. Open gnome-terminal. Then execute the line below. $ /usr/share/recovery-mode/recovery-menu 2. You can see menus fully translated. Then press Esc. 3. Go to the console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 and input username and password to login. 4. Execute the line below again and see whether unreadable characters exist. $ /usr/share/recovery-mode/recovery-menu 5. Then press Esc, and you can go back to the desktop by pressing Alt+F7. For Arabic (testing ar_EG locale, but should be true for other ar_* ones), with default console font all the Arabic text is unreadable, but if change console font to an Arabic capable one (any of /usr/share/consolefonts/Arabic-* fonts) I get readable Arabic text (with proper right to left and shaping), so for Arabic a fix would involve choosing a suitable default console font. IIRC, some previous Ubuntu release had suitable Arabic font by default, I don't remember which one as it have been years since I tried Arabic in the console (I'm using 10.04 right now).

Changing locale to vi_VN gives the same results. Could you tell me which is your problem about 70% of the characters?
