[9fans] bad character set for rune...

[tlaronde]

Hello,

I'm on the way to install Plan9 on a new node.

Since with the CDROM or the (different flavors of) USB images, it
doesn't work, I'm "bootstrapping" by hand.

I have made, from an external OS (NetBSD), a plan9 partition with the
initial 9fat configured and populated in order to be able to boot boot.

Since, so far, I have been unable to convince the 9pccd kernel to read
an iso file of the root file system put whether in the 9fat or in plan9
partition in a "fs" subpartition, I'm now serving a root filesystem
via 9P2000, from another node.

Well, it works, but when launching the installation (I have copied the
various scripts so that they are in the served /), I have the message,
continuously repeated:

bad character set for rune 0x0000 in /lib/font/bit/lucm/unicode.9.font

since it is the font loaded for rio. (The rio windows are blank, the
message is on the "console".)

Has anybody any clue about what is causing this? Can a program needed to
read/decompress/whatever the font be missing (I have tried to put on the
root only what is needed)? If yes, what is this program?

TIA

Replying to myself: because I had copied the unicode.9.font but not the
other components (files) or subfonts (? Is this the correct term).

Once done, it works...
