Please add font section in vconsole.conf for Arch Linux

Open Boria138 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Please add automatic font specification in vconsole.conf for Cyrillic locale, because if it is not done instead of Cyrillic there will be squares in the console and tty I suppose you can use cyr-sun16 as it is written in the Arch wiki.

Does the cyr-sun16 256-character font have any advantages over the widely used latarcyrheb-sun16 512-character font?

What is clear is that eurlatgr is the wrong choice for Cyrillic because it does not support Cyrillic characters at all, but I am asking which one is actually the best choice.

cyr-sun16 is what is written in the Russian version of the arch wiki. I don't know if the has any advantages.

I looked in the Ukrainian version of the arch wiki and there is already used a different Cyrillic font, so I do not know what logic guided the translators when choosing a font, but as for me adding a font for Cyrillic is necessary because at the moment I write the font through the shell processes, which as for me is not very convenient
