Console font setting destroyed by X

Hi
I have problem with console fonts. I set them up during boot (setfont lat2-16). On runlevel 3 everything work fine. Bur when I run X server my font setting is overwriten. Where can I find configuration file responsible for this behaviour?

Let me see if I understand your problem:
The console font is only for the non graphical console. When you run X, fonts are set in another way.
If you return to the console with Ctrl-Alt-F1 the font you set should be there.
Console font can be set in /etc/rc.conf.

Well the critical word there is "should".  I can go to console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), set the fonts (# setfont lat2-16) and everything is fine. Now, when I switch back to X (Alt-F7) and again to console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) the fonts are gone again.
Jjst some more info: I am using these fonts because of czech characters. I am not using UTF-8 encoding, but iso-8859-2 for console fonts. And my LANG and LC_ALL variables are set to en_US.iso-8859-1. Maybe here is the problem, but i dont see where.
Thanks for replay
PS. I am not using standart Arch-Linux buutscripts so my box does not have /etc/rc.conf file.  But I dont think it is bootscript problem. Booting to runlevel 3 (without X) sets font flawlessly.

  • [SOLVED] Virtual console font setting is not being applied

    TL;DR I want to have the ter-114b font (from the terminus-font package; its path is /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-114b.psf.gz) as my console font.
    What have I done:
    % cat /etc/vconsole.conf
    KEYMAP=br-abnt2
    FONT=ter-114b
    According to the wiki, this setting should be sufficient. However, there is something wrong, because whenever I reboot my computer, I get the default font instead (I can notice that by executing setfont ter-114b, then I see the difference).
    Further information:

    The Wiki also mentions something about loading KMS earlier than vconsole, however I'm not sure if this refers to the part which talks about putting 'consolefont' as a mkinitcpio hook, or if this refers to the whole section. Anyways, even if I tried to follow this, the problem is the i915 hook (my notebook has an Intel graphics card) doesn't exist as a mkinitcpio module, as the wiki indicates. Or I don't have the necessary module file.
    Any clues about what could be wrong here?

    See? This hook doesn't exist in my system for some odd reason. Maybe some package is missing? I have xf86-video-intel.

  • Create profile and set console font

    Hi,
    I'm not really a powershell expert, even though i use it daily. I've been looking into creating a profile to make life easier. So i made a little script to auto create a profile and set the console properties, load some modules etc.
    The one thing i have not found an answer for is how can i set the console to use Lucinda Console font in stead of that dreadful raster font?
    This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights

    Hi,
    Thanks. I am aware of the console settings available to powershell, but thanks anyway.
    So the reg settings should be stored for the current user only in the key HKCU\Console. That will only affect the logged on user. It is not dynamic, as you say, but that's ok. I just need to have it set.
    So changing the following settings would change the font for CMD.exe and powershell.exe:
    REG ADD HKCU\Console /v FaceName /d "Lucida Console" /f
    REG ADD HKCU\Console /v FontSize /t REG_DWORD /d 0x000c0000 /f
    REG ADD HKCU\Console /v FontWeight /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000190 /f
    REG ADD HKCU\Console /v FontFamily /t REG_DWORD /d 0x36 /f
    Push-Location
    Set-Location HKCU:\Console
    New-Item ".\%SystemRoot%_system32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe"
    Set-Location ".\%SystemRoot%_system32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe"
    New-ItemProperty . FaceName -type STRING -value "Lucida Console"
    New-ItemProperty . FontFamily -type DWORD -value 0x00000036
    New-ItemProperty . FontSize -type DWORD -value 0x000c0000
    New-ItemProperty . FontWeight -type DWORD -value 0x00000190
    New-ItemProperty . HistoryNoDup -type DWORD -value 0x00000000
    New-ItemProperty . QuickEdit -type DWORD -value 0x00000001
    Pop-Location
    Push-Location
    Set-Location HKCU:\Console
    New-Item '.\%SystemRoot%_SysWOW64_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe'
    Set-Location '.\%SystemRoot%_SysWOW64_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe'
    New-ItemProperty . FaceName -type STRING -value "Lucida Console"
    New-ItemProperty . FontFamily -type DWORD -value 0x00000036
    New-ItemProperty . FontSize -type DWORD -value 0x000c0000
    New-ItemProperty . FontWeight -type DWORD -value 0x00000190
    New-ItemProperty . HistoryNoDup -type DWORD -value 0x00000000
    New-ItemProperty . QuickEdit -type DWORD -value 0x00000001
    Pop-Location
    So, that should've done the trick. I can open cmd.exe and powershell.exe, open the system menu, go to defaults, and verify that the settings are in fact set. However, the settings just doesn't take effect. I even opened the properties dialog box for the
    PowerShell shortcut, to check the settings and I can still confirm that it had set the font correctly.
    Still, whenever I launch PowerShell, I am greeted with the ugly raster font. So, the last check I did was to go into properties in the PowerShell window system menu, and check the font.
    It was set to raster. So I changed it. The next time I opened PowerShell, it was back to raster.
    So, no matter where I set it, or what I set, it still goes back to raster every da** time.
    Where i come from, we call this a bug... A very annoying bug...
    Edit: Btw, this is only happening on a handful of servers, not all. On some i am able to successfully script changing the font.

  • Set default console font early in the boot process using mkinitrd?

    Hi,
    I'm a Slackware user, and I have a cross-distro question to the Arch gurus here. I like using a custom font (Lat2Terminus16) in the console, on servers. Now I remember having defined this font as default in the Arch console when I gave it a try, and then added it not only to rc.conf, but also to the configuration file that drives the initrd creation. Thus, the console font was defined very early in the boot process.
    Now here's my question: is there any way to achieve this on a stock Linux distribution like Slackware? The man page for mkinitrd and mkinitrd.conf doesn't say anything about custom console fonts. So how do you guys do that?
    Cheers from the sunny South of France.

    Zom wrote:
    We do it by adding 'consolefont' to the HOOKS section in mkinitrd.conf.
    E: Or you could just add the relevant files to the FILES section, if you don't want to use the hook I suppose.
    Yes, but there's no HOOKS and no FILES section in a default Slackware install. My question was more or less to the Arch devs, to know if there was a *generic* (e. g. non-Arch-specific) way to achieve this.

    I suspect that it's still the case. You may even have this message in your own dmesg.
    Switch console to VGA mode and use xterm instead.
    This has nothing to do with resolution setting in a framebuffer, which is what the title of the thread suggests.
    I'm pretty sure it does - it looks like the console is being switched to VGA text mode; nvidia has no reason to touch fonts.

  • [SOLVED] Console Font Gets Reset During Boot

    I've recently switched to Arch Linux and am quite happy with it.  I've never had so much fun with Linux until a friend recommended Arch.  I have since installed it on both my MacBook Pro and Mac mini.  Everything has been pretty smooth, but I do have one issue.
    During the boot process, the system starts up with its default console font, per the usual.  I have edited /etc/vconsole.conf to set the font to Lat2-Terminus16 and to set the keyboard layout to Dvorak.  Here's my current config:
    KEYMAP=dvorak
    FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
    Part-way through the boot process, the font switches to use the new font.  So far, so good.  Shortly after, however, the screen gets cleared and continues to produce normal kernel messages until the screen is cleared once again and presents the boot prompt, but with the default console font as opposed to the font in vconsole.conf.  I am able to re-set the font again by using the setfont command, but this is a bit of an inconvenience.  The keyboard layout, however, is as it should be: set to Dvorak.  So, systemd-vconsole-setup.service is doing its job.
    I have narrowed down the problem to that when agetty starts, it seems to be resetting the font back to the default.  I have tried adding nouveau (my machines have Nvidia) to the array of modules within /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilding initramfs, but I get the same results.  I have also tried adding vconsole.font=Lat2-Terminus16 to the boot arguments in GRUB, but I get the same results.  This is affecting both of my machines.  I have updated them with pacman -Syu, but the problem still exists.
    I have found a workaround which is to add a service to systemd (I call it fontfix.service), set it to start after getty.target, and have it included in multi-user.target.  But is there a better way?  Or is something else other than agetty resetting the font?
    tl;dr
    agetty appears to be resetting the console font after systemd-vconsole-setup.service sets the font.  Is there a way to have agetty recognize what console font is currently is use?  Or is something else other than agetty resetting the font?

  • [solved] vconsole.conf FONT setting is not respected in systemd

    I recently converted my Arch system to a pure systemd setup (as described here), and everything seems to be working as before.
    Well, almost everything.
    Prior to switching over to systemd, I had already moved all config settings (except for the DAEMONS line) out of /etc/rc.conf and into the individual config files, and at that time, I had set up /etc/vconsole.conf as follows:
    KEYMAP=us
    FONT=ter-216n
    FONT_MAP=8859-2
    When running under initscripts, this was working fine, and I would get the nice Terminus font at my console TTYs. Now, running under systemd, the consoles are no longer using Terminus. Instead, I just get the default font (whatever it's called). It's as if the FONT I set in /etc/vconsole.conf is being ignored.
    systemctl reports the following, indicating (I think) that the systemd-vconsole-setup service ran successfully:
    [owner@computer ~]$ systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service

    Yes, you're right. I have updated my /etc/vconsole.conf accordingly.
    However, I just tested this, and it turns out that my FONT_MAP mistake was not relevant to my original problem.

    Interesting. It turns out that using early KMS start also solves my console font problem. I think I prefer this solution, since it doesn't involve overriding systemd-vconsole-setup.service. Enabling early KMS start feels like a less invasive change. As documented here, I simply added i915 to the MODULES line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, and then rebuilt the /boot/initramfs-* files.

  • [solved]systemd and console font

    Hi guys. I've just switched my laptop over to systemd and so far I'm finding it great! I am, however, having a slight issue with getting it to set a console font, err, properly.
    KEYMAP=uk
    FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
    Before switching to systemd, this worked fine. However now when I boot up, the font is set early (I have the hook in mkinitcpio.conf) but once I get to the login screen, the screen flickers and I end up back on the default font. I've tried this with several of the available fonts and it happens with all of them. I don't have it set anywhere else, so I'm not sure why the font is being reset. Has anyone else come across this issue yet?
    Cheers.

Once it becomes a part of your boot image, it shouldn't be reset (which happens when the video driver like nouveau gets loaded: if this is the case, add your video driver to the MODULES array in /etc/mkinitcpio,conf and rebuild the image again). I have been doing the very same thing every time I prepare a new setup and it always works as expected.
    Yes, I did rebuild it. I didn't have the video driver in MODULES though; adding it has now solved the issue. Don't know why I hadn't added i915 to that array though.
    Thanks very much for your help.

  • Consolas font size (system vs. xfce4-terminal)

    Hi there,
    I use infinality's patched fontconfig and the Consolas font for monospace. The problem I have is that 10pt Consolas is, imo, too small, whereas 11pt is too large.
    The screenshot below shows how they look on my system (in Sublime Text, but its the same in e.g. Eclipse). The thing is that xfce4-terminal somehow displays
    Consolas differently. I really like the style, but I dont know why this is the case and how to get the style in Sublime Text and Eclipse (or systemwide). Screenshots:
    http://imgur.com/aHx5Mpm,nfzOhOL,4tbp1VG
    As you can see, the terminal version is smaller than 11pt but larger than 10pt. It is indeed Consolas, I checked multiple times.

    The first two images are using the Truetype hinter, whereas the third image is using autohinter.  Not sure how some of your programs could be using one, but others using the other one?  I would check your fontconfig settings.  Also, unless your DPI is set to 72, pt heights are different than px heights (points vs. pixels).  So, there may in fact be one size inbetween the two you mentioned if you're using 96 dpi.

  • Default Japanese font setting in Linux

    Hi,

  • Use of Font Sets in CHM Navigation Pane

    Hi everyone.
    One of our product suites is going to be published for the first time using WebHelp Pro as its primary output but with a CHM file as a backup in case the client's internet connection fails or isn't present.
    To cut a long story short we have setup a font set to use with our Webhelp Pro output that allows for both Windows and Apple Mac fonts. We have applied this to all our styles and are looking at other places where it can be used (e.g. skins). One of these is the Navigation Pane to be used in the CHM file. It seems like you can not use a font set when defining the font characteristics of the TOC and Index in the Advanced options of the Microsoft HTML Help single source layout.
    I know this is not really a problem as CHM files are only designed to be run on Windows PCs and the Windows fonts we are using as part of the font set are 99.9% percent likely to be installed. However I am more interested in how the fonts inside the navigation pane works. The fact that you can't specify a font set (i've checked this in RH8 and RHX5) would seem to indicate that the font setting is part of the compiled file, rendering a font set unnecessary in this instance. Either that or it is an oversight.
    Read the RoboColum(n).

    Hi Colum
    I stand to be corrected on this. Perhaps Pete Lees will pop in to confirm or deny.
    I don't believe Font Sets are even necessary for .CHM files. As they are Windows only, I'm not sure Microsoft saw any need to provide for using them.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Font setting in HTML Conversion Settings not honoured by acrobat

    Hi,
    I have Helvetica LT Std font family minstalled on my PC.
    In Acrobat 9, when I go to Create PDF --> From Web page --> Settings --> Settings (File Type : HTML), I select Body text font as "Helvetica LT Std" and size as 14.
    Now when I try to print any html page (E.g. http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/fcdb/oracle/or-proc.html) to pdf, everything is appearing in Tahoma (eeks!!).
    Why is no Acrobat taking the Body font text font setting that I had specified?
    Please help ....
    Thanks in advance

    You might try the preferences in your browser (as I understand your question). Mine has selections for default fonts and a selection of overriding the HTML document fonts (at least as I read the preferences). For some reason, Tacoma has become the default for MS products from what I have seen. I can't find a font button in IE, but there may be one. As you might expect, IE is far from my first choice of browser.
