I suppose this is a duplicate of 857132 and 861454.  Unfortunately 
nobody has been able to find the cause of this bug.

Bug#863630: console-setup.service doesn't affect tty consoles

[Андрей Доценко]

Package: console-setup-linux
Version: 1.164

I configured locale to russian language but after logging into tty*
terminal (Alt+Ctrl+F*) a font without support for my locale was applied.

Running either:

setupcon

or:

service console-setup stop
service console-setup start

changes font to cyrillic as it should do at system start.

I tried to make console-setup starting after getty.target and then after
multi-user.target. Both attempts had no result.

systemctl status console-setup shows that service is loaded and active
(exited).


I solved the problem locally by executing setupcon right before agetty in
the /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service file:
ExecStartPre=/bin/setupcon --current-tty

I use Debian 9 Stretch.
