Public bug reported:
There are a lot of similar bug reports for this, but they all seem stalled.
Here's a specific issue with a proposed one-line patch that works.
When I boot my Ubuntu 16.04.2 and select recovery mode, the menu text is
unreadable, showing boxes instead of characters, like console-setup
hasn't ran, while it did.
Then I edit /lib/recovery-mode/recovery-menu and insert the following line at
the top:
udevadm trigger && udevadm settle -t 10
After I reboot, the problem is gone.
I'll attach two screenshots, "before.png" and "after.png", showing the
issue.
Some info for my localization setup; but it shouldn't matter, it should be the
same in any locale.
$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="el_GR.UTF-8"
$ cat /etc/default/console-setup
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"
CHARMAP="UTF-8"
CODESET="guess"
FONTFACE="Fixed"
FONTSIZE="8x16"
