password prompt display is broken in 24.004.60

Description:

Since version 24.004.60, the password prompt text (the message "Please enter passphrase for disk ...:" in the screenshots) is no longer displayed. Reverting the switch to label-freetype in plymouth.initcpio_install fixes the issue.

Screenshot with plymouth 22.02.122-7 (pango):

Additional info:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. set up an install with a LUKS-encrypted root device
  2. use specified config and theme
  3. observe missing password prompt

I'm currently testing whether the issue also happens with the default config and theme.

Also happens on the default config:
