Hello, it's been also over a year since I've been plagued by this issue but I managed to solve it by purging the console-setup cache every time on shutdown with the following service file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [Unit] Description=Cleanup console-setup cache [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=true ExecStop=/bin/bash -c "rm /etc/console-setup/cached_*" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Bug #892900 piqued my interest because then my font actually started applying on boot so I was dismayed when another update reverted the condition (or rather fixed that bug). This fix naturally produces some warnings: Mar 16 14:52:10 lambda [280]: failed to execute '/etc/console-setup/cached_setup_font.sh' '/etc/console-setup/cached_setup_font.sh': No such file or directory Mar 16 14:52:10 lambda systemd-udevd[265]: Process '/etc/console-setup/cached_setup_font.sh' failed with exit code 2. So I guess it would be nice if one was able to disable this cache generation somehow cleaner (or rather force it to refresh).
