Unfortunately, at the moment I have no idea what might have caused this strange behaviour. Moreover, I am unable to reproduce it. I booted my system with French locale and fsck displayed the non-break space correctly. Could you check the following two things. First, is everything correct after the system has booted? Try for example on the text console as root the following commands: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.hdi count=100000 mkfs.ext4 /tmp/test.hdi fsck.ext4 /tmp/test.hdi Second, when do the following messages occur? > /dev/sda2€: propre ... > /dev/sda3€: propre ... Before the framebuffer is activated (big letters) or afterwards (small letters)? Can you observe the exact time when console-setup modifies the font (not the size of the letters but their shape)? > Whatever the font, a non-breaking space should be displayed in fr_FR > before this colon or at least a simple space.
