Hi all,
Just playing with 2.6.12-r2 here, and I've noticed something a bit odd on boot up, hoping somebody might have seen this :
| Code: | couldn't load font file
... 34pt font from null |
I have fbsplash enabled and everything is fine - boots great, only I'm getting the above message right at the start of the boot process. I've been looking around, can't see any mention of this - also I've been experimenting with Kernel options, no dice. Anybody got any pointers please ?

Had the same problem..... noticed it right after the change to 2.6.12. Still no clue what went wrong.
During my slew of random troubleshoots, I commented out in my /etc/splash config file (the one for the theme i am using) the line that states "font size=34" or whatever, and re-made my splash initrd file.... now on boot it gives the same error but says "0pt font from null".
Obviously it isn't THAT important of a problem, as I really have had NO problems with ANYTHING.............. **shrug** So I gave up!!

See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97838
Reemerging splashutils worked for me.
