Hash: SHA256
Here's the initramfs hook script I'm using. It just copies
/etc/console-setup and /bin/setupcon into the initramfs wholesale, and
relies on udev to trigger the setting of the font via the usual
initramfs rules.
One weirdness I've yet to solve is that something resets the font to the
default tiny one, after the cryptsetup passphrase prompt. The real root
filesystem's udev proceeds to set the font, correctly, in the normal way
once control has been handed over to systemd.
It would be nice if there was a --save-font command for the hook to use,
that is analogous to --save-keyboard. Alternatively, it would be nice if
- --setup-dir configured the font as well as the keymap.
It seems a bit weird that the keymap initramfs hook and script aren't
provided by console-setup. It would be nice if console-setup adopted
them and for them to be enhanced to handle both the keymap and font,
rather than initramfs-tools having to concern itself with the details.
