[Touch-packages] [Bug 1599635] Re: Console font width should be consistent on startup
It's already configurable, since it's clearly a matter of preference for people who do significant amounts of work at the console. "dpkg- reconfigure -p medium console-setup" and select "Do not change the boot/kernel font" at the "Font for the console:" question. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599635 Title: Console font width should be consistent on startup Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I start my machine the console output is shown (so no splash screen, just the console output about my system starting up), and I have noticed that since upgrading to 16.04 from 15.10 (and I noticed that this happened about half way through the upgrade process as well) that on every startup for the first 5 seconds or something the text is what I would describe as "bold", but then after that it suddenly becomes just "normal" and much thinner.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1599635] Re: Console font width should be consistent on startup
Ok, well: 1) Why didn't this issue affect anyone before? Did Linux simply not set a new one or anything different from the bold? 2) What about having a compromise and just allowing the user to configure what they want Linux to change the font to, if anything? That would do it for me if I could at least change it back to how it was and not have Linux changing it to something I can barely read and don't want. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599635 Title: Console font width should be consistent on startup Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I start my machine the console output is shown (so no splash screen, just the console output about my system starting up), and I have noticed that since upgrading to 16.04 from 15.10 (and I noticed that this happened about half way through the upgrade process as well) that on every startup for the first 5 seconds or something the text is what I would describe as "bold", but then after that it suddenly becomes just "normal" and much thinner.

This is likely a wontfix -- the original font is set by the BIOS/EFI, and Linux can only set its own later on. ** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => console-setup (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599635 Title: Console font width should be consistent on startup Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I start my machine the console output is shown (so no splash screen, just the console output about my system starting up), and I have noticed that since upgrading to 16.04 from 15.10 (and I noticed that this happened about half way through the upgrade process as well) that on every startup for the first 5 seconds or something the text is what I would describe as "bold", but then after that it suddenly becomes just "normal" and much thinner.
