Ah. Wait a second. Did you do this using a *graphical* installer image for
Lenny? In that case what you're seeing is 100% expected and completely and
utterly unrelated to what is possible in the regular installer.
The shell you start from the menu in the graphical installer is *not* just
a console! It's more like running xterm or konsole. It uses pango and gtk
and all the other libs that are only available in the graphical installer!
Unless you can also get readable text after booting the *normal* (newt
based) installer, there is really no point in persuing this any further.

That must simply be because they are not included (quite possibly because
they are not used) in the TTF font used in D-I. Maybe that needs updating.
