From f51356b4628822a58ddecd217b0e5e079e39499e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Gundersen Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:22:05 +0200 Subject: vconsole: default to the kernel compiled-in font No longer override the default kernel font if nothing is specified in vconsole.conf. The default kernel font[0] provides ISO-8859-1 and box characters. Users of Arabic, Cyrilic or Hebrew must set a different font manually as these character sets were provided by the old default font [1], but are not any longer. Rationale: * it is counter-intuitive that an empty vconsole.conf file is different from adding FONT=""; * the version of the default font shipped with Arch (which is the upstream one) behaves very badly during early boot[2] (which should admittedly be fixed in the font itself); * the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to use that unless anything else is specified; * This also avoids a needless slow call to setfont; and * We don't want to work around problems in the kernel (in case the compiled-in font is not acceptable for whatever reason).
