[SOLVED]/etc/vconsole.conf doesn't react to any change

Question

Hi,
I'm new in Arch Linux, so sorry if I'm missreading something.
I try to change my font and keymap using this manual: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KEYMAP
So i edit /etc/vconsole.conf like this:
KEYMAP=cz-lat2
FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
but nothing change, even after reboot. "kbd" is installed.
Btw. when I run "setfont Lat2-Terminus16" the font is changed (but just this session).
Thanks

It doesnt work in any form.
I tried to add i915 to my mkinicpio to modules, but when I run:
[dan@localhost ~]$ sudo mkinitcpio -p linux
[sudo] password for root:

There are messages about failing to set locale.
Btw. here is my locale and locale -a output:
[dan@localhost ~]$ locale -a

Edit: When I try to change my keyboard layout in gnome creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf with:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XbkLayout" "cz"
EndSection
it doesn't work.
And when I try to use: "setxkbmap cz", it change my keyboard to czech, but it doesn't work in terminal (when i type "+ěščřtřžýáí" i get "+???????".
