It should be easy to reproduce on any system. The problem is likely that
Plymouth only has fonts in memory that it used prior to the root
filesystem being unmounted and moved to RAM. Since the bold font hadn't
been used yet and isn't in the initrd, it can no longer be loaded after
the root filesystem has transitioned.

I also wonder if it's really worth trying to load another TrueType font
into RAM just for this unlikely use case. We could represent bold as
brighter colours instead.

Title:
  Plymouth's hidden console contains squares instead of bold text

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Plymouth's hidden console contains squares instead of bold text on
  live session shutdown.

  You can see it by pressing Escape instead of Enter.

  It seems somewhat related to the fix for bug 1942987, which only
  preloads non-bold text for the live session shutdown splash.
