      Upstream issue fix for a RHEL bug.

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      The Anaconda text interface shows only white rectangles for languages that use a non-latin alphabet and that have translations.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      RHEL-9.3 (also RHEL-8.9)

      How reproducible:

      Always

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Append to the boot options: "inst.lang=ja_JP inst.text".
      2. Start a text mode installation.

      Expected results

      All translated text in a non-latin alphabet is readable.

      Actual results

      All translated text in a non-latin alphabet looks like white rectangles.
