On 18.04 I wanted to set the TTY font to use a Powerline font. Despite
being able to set the font manually it wasn't being set at boot-time.
/etc/default/console-setup contains:
FONT="/usr/local/share/fonts/ter-powerline-v22n.psf.gz"
"setupcon -v -f" reported an error:
putfont: KDFONTOP: Invalid argument
due to passing the font filename twice:
executing setfont -C /dev/tty1 /usr/local/share/fonts/ter-powerline-
v22n.psf.gz /usr/local/share/fonts/ter-powerline-v22n.psf.gz.
The problem is in /bin/setupcon where the collecting variable FONTFILES
has the font added twice, once at the top of the for loop
FONTFILES="$FONTFILES `findfile $fontdir $f`"
and again at the bottom
FONTFILES="$FONTFILES $RES"
Removing the first assignment fixes it.
FONTFILES=''
echo "DEBUG: FONT=$FONT"
if [ "$FONT" ]; then
for f in $FONT; do
echo "DEBUG: for loop"
FONTFILES="$FONTFILES `findfile $fontdir $f`"
RES=`findfile $fontdir $f`
if [ -z "$RES" ]; then
fdec="${f%.gz}"
RES=`findfile $fontdir $fdec`
fi
FONTFILES="$FONTFILES $RES"
done
fi
FONTFILES=`echo $FONTFILES` # remove extra spaces
