rename 859458 Because of displays with very high dpi, not only the keyboard, but the font has to be configured early thanks
Console packages have always configured the keyboard as early as possible in order to facilitate interaction during bad fsck. They have never tried (at least in Debian) to configure the font. But your argument is valid so I am renaming this bug accordingly. On Mon, Apr 03, 2017 at 09:12:21PM +0200, Jörg Sommer wrote: > > Can you add files like these to the package, please? I am considering this issue closed because there are already files like these in the package. :) See the option setupcon --setup-dir which is supposed to be used by initrd builders. At the moment Dracut uses this option, I don't know if there are other initrd builders in Debian which use it. But even with Dracut, the font will not be configured by initrd because console-setup does not try to do this. Which is unfortunate because earlier versions of console-setup included font configuration in initrd. Anton Zinoviev
