[Pkg-kbd-devel] Bug#421390: kbd: init script calls unicode_start without specifying the font

[Mattia]

Package: kbd
Version: 1.12-17
Severity: normal


Hi,
at line 170 of /etc/init.d/console-screen.kbd.sh you call unicode_start
in this way:
unicode_start < /dev/tty? > /dev/tty?
without specifying the font. Without this option unicode_start will load
a default font.
I think that the right way should be:
unicode_start ${CONSOLE_FONT} < /dev/tty? > /dev/tty?
since ${CONSOLE_FONT} contains the font chosen by the user.

I'm not a debian developer nor a guru, I just tried this thing and it
works. I don't know if it will break something else.

Regards,
Mattia
