malformed Rendered Characters

Moving to Ubuntu ubiquity.

I just noticed this bug in the Hardy Heron desktop live daily images and was searching to see if it had already been filed. It may be related to bug #46985 since both seem to be Unicode issues. The problem with Hindi is that the vowel characters are modifiers and should combine with the characters before them. Instead they appear as separate characters with horrible looking dashed areas where the characters are supposed to combine. Also I can't find where translation improvements to the bootscreen should go.

This bug was fixed in the package gfxboot-theme-ubuntu - 0.5.2

---------------
gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (0.5.2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Ask for language before displaying the main menu (LP: #39888).
  * Filter out translations for various languages (Arabic, Dzongkha, Indic,
    Mongolian, Thai) that we cannot render properly for various reasons
    (LP: #46985, #56145).
  * Give checkbox semantics to the items in the F6 "Other Options" menu.
  * Add acpi=off, noapic, and nolapic options to the "Other Options" menu.
  * Display the "Other Options" menu for the live CD too, but without the
    d-i expert mode option.
  * Use theme background colour as the colour for dialog title bars and
    progress bars (LP: #28795).
  * Fetch foreground, background, and access-options from gfxboot.cfg in
    preference to isolinux.cfg. The gfxboot-foreground, gfxboot-background,
    and gfxboot-access-options keywords in isolinux.cfg are now deprecated
    and support for them will be removed after Ubuntu 8.04.
  * Include po/ in the binary package for consistency with gfxboot-theme-*,
    although you should generally just use bootlogo.tar.gz rather than
    building the theme afresh (LP: #39930).
