Hmm, that sounds like a bug to fix in the font or the console tools? > * the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to > use that unless anything else is specified.

Hmm, so I am tempted to make this change for everybody instead of just Arch. But before I do that, I have one question: the default kernel font, does that do the usual UTF-8 subset that LatArCyrHeb-16 does? If so, then there is indeed no point in loading a font from userspace, indeed, especially given that setfont is so awfully slow... By "usual UTF-8 subset" I mean box chars (i want QR codes on the console! ;-)) and the range that iso8859-15 covers I guess. > diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am > index e5ace9b..0b35ba1 100644 > --- a/Makefile.am > +++ b/Makefile.am > @@ -165,7 +165,7 @@ if TARGET_ARCH > AM_CPPFLAGS += \ > -DKBD_LOADKEYS=\"/usr/bin/loadkeys\" \ > -DKBD_SETFONT=\"/usr/bin/setfont\" \ > - -DDEFAULT_FONT=\"LatArCyrHeb-16\" > + -DDEFAULT_FONT=\"\" > else > if TARGET_FRUGALWARE > AM_CPPFLAGS += \ Lennart -- Lennart Poettering - Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
