======================================================================== User Information for the Fedora terminus-font-console package ======================================================================== The console package just dumps the font files in the directory where the other console fonts are and does not do any setting up (for now). * The difference between all those ter-????.psf.gz files is explained in the file /lib/kbd/consolefonts/README.terminus * You can manually change the font for the Linux VGA textmode or framebuffer console by running something like /bin/setfont /lib/kbd/consolefonts/ter-u24b.psf.gz Note that using a font of a different font size will change the $COLUMNS and $LINES of the terminal together with the changed font size. * To make the above setting permanent, you need to tell your initramfs and/or other init system to load the font. The (config) files to adapt for that are /etc/vconsole.conf /etc/default/grub /etc/grub2.cfg aka /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and also your initramfs must contain the font file such as ter-u24b.psf: /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img Configuration changes: 1. In /etc/vconsole.conf, add a line FONT="ter-u24b" 2. In /etc/default/grub, add an option vconsole.font=ter-u24b to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="..." definition. At this point, there should be an easy and obvious way to propagate those settings into grub.cfg and the initramfs. However, I do not know it, so here are two ways to do it 3a * Open /etc/grub2.cfg in an editor and add the vconsole.font option to the appropriate "linux" command lines (same as /etc/default/grub) * Rebuild the initramfs. There might be a better way, but yum reinstall kernel might work. 3b * Update /etc/grub2.cfg with options from /etc/default/grub (but the generated grub2.cfg will look very differently than the one maintained just by kernel installs and updates): grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg * Then rebuild a new initramfs with: dracut -f Verify that the initramfs contains the required font file: [root@host ~]# gunzip -c < /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img | cpio --list | grep consolefonts/ usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/latarcyrheb-sun16.psfu usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/ter-u24b.psf 71695 blocks [root@host ~]# On the next boot, your framebuffer console should come up with a beautiful Terminus font.
