Bug#641751: grub2: Missing characters (Umlaute) on a encrypted system (LUKS on LVM)

[Stefan Nagy]

Package: grub2
Severity: minor

Seems like grub2 is missing some characters for the german translation when
everything but the boot-partition is encrypted. I get a "?" instead of ä, ü,
ö, ß…

I read in a german ubuntu-forum [1] that maybe grub2 is missing the
unicode.pf2-font, since it's placed in /usr/share/grub/. However, I had no luck
with the second workaround (to get a correct german translation)…
