[solveð] Console font

I have a weird behavior on console font with dinit (in a virtual machine, I'm only testing for now).

I have setup a terminus font in vconsole.conf :

Code: [Select]

KEYMAP=fr-pc
FONT=ter-916n

During boot, the font switches to the terminus one (through the /etc/dinit.d/scripts/vconsole script), then quickly gets back to the default font that stays for agetty.
I couldn't determine when it exactly reverts, and I didn't find anything that would do that in the startup scripts.

Perhaps KMS kicking in? What happens if you restart the vconsole script?

Caused by vconsole running before udev-settle. Fix is on the way.

Alternatively, just add waits-for = udev-settle on /etc/dinit.d/vconsole if you need the fix right away.
