Hi @andyrtr Booster is looking for font files at |
No. There's only /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO-8859-2.gz that looks related here. |

I'm using booster as my main initcpio and some more critical systems still have dracut installed for fallback. I'm just trying to add the font settings for the first time to try if I can workaround a bug introduced in 6.0 kernel.

From 6.0 release on I see the first boot msg page switching to my custom font setting but the font is then reset when a 2nd boot message page it written. tpowa has doing some tests with mkinitcpio that is affected by the same. He found some workaround there to make the kernel reapply the custom font setting. It would be nice when we could find a way to get the font working in inintrd to get a seemless boot output. The late userspace kernel issue is something different. Please tell me here or at IRC if I can do something for you. It's not a serious issue but it would be nice to get booster working |
small note: I've found the console font workaround required for kernel 6.0 and up: it's written down at the Arch wiki (Linux_console/Persistent_configuration) - to avoid the resolution reset it's required to add the video module to the initrd to enable early kms. But this is not an actual fix for this booster font adding issue. |

@andyrtr did you install any extra packages to get that map file? Could you please also call the |

The Arch booster version fails to create the image when trying to include the vconsole font settings using "vconsole: true" here at FONT_MAP it seems. The booster config here does not include any other entry.
vconsole.conf has
