Description of problem: Due to small character size on my monitor I want to use the latarcyrheb-sun32 font for my vconsole. On boot I edit the Grub2 menu entry, and change the vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 to latarcyrheb-sun32. ( I actually only change the 16 to a 32 ) After boot completion the I change to tty2 via ctl-alt-F2 and there has been no affect on font size. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) (copy from /etc/fedora-release) How reproducible: fails every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install F20 Alpha release 2.boot and edit vconsole.font= on linux command line 3.complete boot sequence, log in and switch to tty2 via ctl-alt-F2 Actual results: tty font remains un-affected by change to vconsole.font= Expected results: new font selection should be used by all tty vconsoles Additional info: /proc/cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.11.1-300.fc20.x86_64 root=UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx ro vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun32 vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8
logging on to a vconsole (tty2) and issuing "setfont latarcyrheb-sun32" command is successful in changing the font for that terminal.

I have similar issue with Final TC5. In /etc/vconsole.conf I have: KEYMAP=us-acentos FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 In kernel cmdline: vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 But font on console does render non-ASCII symbols with squares. Here is workaround that was used to fix it in previous versions: https://github.com/elemc/workaround-cyrillic-console/blob/master/setup-cyrfont%40.service
The problem might be that fonts are missing from generated initramfs: # lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-3.11.10-300.fc20.x86_64.img | grep lararcyrheb Returns nothing

this is probably the same thing as all the F19-era reports about not displaying 'schrodinger's cat' properly on the console. There's something screwy about the console font settings somewhere.
(In reply to John from comment #0) > 3.complete boot sequence, log in and switch to tty2 via ctl-alt-F2 actually, that is a kernel bug tty2 should inherit the settings from tty1

Conditions remain "exactly" as reported. My system with all yum updates as of 2/25/14.

I had trouble initially, but the issue was that the fonts weren't in the initrd. Running "dracut --force" fixed it. dracut runs on new kernel installations, so I haven't had the issue since. cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64 root=UUID=e18109cc-3e19-4713-98ab-406a69111120 ro crashkernel=128M vconsole.font=ter-128b lsinitrd | grep ter-128b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2931 Nov 28 2013 usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/ter-128b.psf.gz Does dmesg show any errors loading the font? Are there any grub2 settings that affect the screen? GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX, GRUB_GFXMODE, GRUB_TERMINAL, etc.
My original bug report identified that editing the GRUB command line to request "latarcyrheb-sun32" font would not work. On my Fedora 20 installation the command line as created from the kernel update rpm is: cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64 root=UUID=a5ddc96e-1b00-4926-b340-20e7e151acf8 ro rootflags=subvol=root00 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 When I edit the command line during boot, I successfully see: cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64 root=UUID=a5ddc96e-1b00-4926-b340-20e7e151acf8 ro rootflags=subvol=root00 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun32 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 However, changing to a console tty2 via ctl-alt-F2 shows no change in font size. Issue is the same for consoles 3-6. If I login on a console and issue "setfont latarcyrheb-sun32", the font change is successful. I am now at release 3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64. Bug was initiated at release 3.11.1-300.fc20.x86_64. Conditions remain the same as originally reported. I do not know how GRUB decides the font on the original command line. I assume the original command line font is defined in update rpm. If the original ~sun16 font is not a distribution default, I would appreciate feedback on the correct way to achieve larger console fonts.
