i have same problem too.
if we check rc.sysinit we can see:
if [ -n "$SYSFONT" ]; then
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/console/consolefonts/$SYSFONT.psf.gz ] || \
DELAYED_FONT=yes
fi
imho, there can be:
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/console/$SYSFONT.psf ] || \
because console-tools use this directory. look at post-scripts of
console-tools:
if [ -n "$SYSFONT" ]; then
cp -f /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/$SYSFONT* /etc/sysconfig/console
fi
and where is problem what is there reported? imho in /sbin/setsysfont:
if [ -n "$SYSFONT" ]; then
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/console/$SYSFONT.psf.gz ]; then
ARGS="/etc/sysconfig/console/$SYSFONT.psf.gz"
this is first condition, and this file truely exist (if someone using
previous package) because there is no cleanup of this directory and ARGS
for consolechars are this, not unzipped font file, which is checking
via -f after this.
this can be problem for people which update his distribution, then
i think that this must be fixeed before release..
and please, make cleanup of /etc/sysconfig/console/ in post-script of
console-tools and use onle one directory, /etc/sysconfig/console or
/etc/sysconfig/console/consolefonts, not both...
