I tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and it offers font 16x8, but there is no 16x8 for VGA, there is only 16 in /etc/console-setup: Uni2-VGA16.psf.gz Also, for some unknown reason, it it was not extracted from archive and I should do it by hand.
So, at last, I found the following solution: in /etc/default/console-setup changed: FONTSIZE="16x8" to FONTSIZE="16" setupcon --save gunzip -k /etc/console-setup/Uni2-VGA16.psf.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1449292 Title: Recovery mode is displayed in unreadable font Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After upgrading to 15.04 I found my Recovery mode is displayed in black boxes and is completely not readable. I should run setupcon each time I'm entering recovery mode to make Cyrillic letters readable. All Latin is ok. I have installed 3 different linux kernels and when I'm booting to one of them in recovery all is ok but in case of two others - black squares instead of Cyrillic. I don't know what package responds for this issue but I'm thinking this is a bug.
