I confirm in line 1548 it says:

    [ -z "$SYSFONT" ] && SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16

And I do have a LatArCyrHeb-16 font: 

/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/LatArCyrHeb-16.psfu.gz

but I can't find a latarcyrheb-sun16

@ colin

now that dracut is default, is there any chance that this'll get fixed for the ones who prefer mkinitrd, or should this be closed as WONTFIX?

Comment 3 Colin Guthrie 2012-01-28 22:32:13 CET 
To be honest I don't really see much point in fixing this. As you say, dracut is default now and this bug is only really a problem when you do not have the right value in /etc/sysconfig/i18n which shouldn't really happen.

So I can't see anyone really looking at this given the above.
