--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Currently when booting, a lot of font changes are happening on my system:
1) Kernel sets up 132x60-screen-mode with an 8x8 font
2) keymap.sh calls unicode_start without a parameter, so a default
8x16(!) font is loaded
3) console-screen.kbd.sh finally loads the desired 8x8-font specified in
/etc/kbd/config
In my eyes, this font-changing from small to big to small does not look
very elegant. I would suggest a solution, that unicode_start will honor
a possible default-font from /etc/kbd/config, too. I experimently added
some simple support for CONSOLE_FONT and it works nicely. I would extend
this to also support CONSOLE_FONT_vcX and send it as a patch, if this is
a wanted feature.
All the best,
Wolfram
