Using the font.ini file

Another way to specify the installer display font is to create a font.ini file in the installer image root directory. The font.ini file specifies the font name and the font location. For example:

#Set to Kochi Mincho font
font=Kochi Mincho
path=/usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType

The example uses the Japanese font Kochi Mincho and requires that the LANG environment variable is set to a Japanese locale such as ja_JP. If the font or the font path specified in the font.ini file is incorrect, the installer terminates with this message:

Error: Unable to find fontname font.
Make sure font name and path are correct in font.ini
file.
