Problem affects (Feisty,Gutsy):

Problem 1: Georgian doesn't appear in terminal mode(after, alternate or desktop installation):

On my laptop Ubuntu gutsy (development branch)

- I've created 3 directories (in /home/alinux/Desktop/) using Georgian letters:
the directories are:
"ახალი დასტა"
"ახალი დასტა 1"
"ახალი დასტა 2"

ახალი დასტა = means a "New Directory"

In gnome-terminal (that uses monospaced Georgian ttf font)
appears:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then pressed Ctrl + Alt + F1 and passed in terminal mode:

"alinux@impresario2500:~/Desktop$ ls" output:

http://gnome.inet.ge/alinux/terminal.jpg <---You can notice rhombuses instead letters.

2. When using ubuntu-alternate, no Georgian appears in terminal mode debian-installer.

###################Additional Information###################################

gfxboot-theme-ubuntu also uses Georgian unifont fonts... and it works great since Dapper

Screenshot:

Even if there is a imperfection with letter "წ" but everything could be corrected
with
http://unifont.org/fontguide/downloads/fonts/New_Georgian_BDF_Fonts.tar.gz (fixed version).
this pack contains 14 and 16 pixel size Georgian BDF console fonts.

this font is suitable for gfxboot-theme-ubuntu, terminal and debian-installer.
