I booted up the installer under qemu (that is how far my current
knowledge of guix allows me to test :) ), and I did notice that the
first "weird" language is not rendered properly under 1.4.0rc2. I
attached screenshots of 1.3.0 installer and 1.4.0rc2 installer. Notice
that under 1.4.0rc2 there are just square boxes instead of the
letters.
Qemu is running with -display gtk, but I do not believe that should
actually matter. Invocation looks like this:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-bios /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF.fd \
-display gtk \
-enable-kvm \
${use_install:+-cdrom} ${use_install:+"$guix_sys_install_iso"} \
-hda "$guix_sys_vm_img" \
-hdb "$new_img_a" \
-hdd "$new_img_b" \
-m 4096 \
-machine type=q35,accel=kvm \
-cpu host \
-smp 2 \
-device VGA,vgamem_mb=64 \
-net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:10022-:22 \
-monitor unix:"$mon_socket",server,nowait \
-virtfs local,path="$host_dir",mount_tag=shared,security_model=none,readonly=on \
&
I can share full script if desired (but I think the variables are
pretty much self-describing).

There are only two hard things in Computer Science:
cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.
