It seems this bug is another reappearance of a known problem. Unfortunately, some smart people have tried to find the cause and have failed. The bug shows itself only when the system uses systemd. For now you have two options: 1. you can include the command 'setupcon' in some script, for example in .(bash_)profile so that it is executed when you login or 2. you can remove systemd from your system, http://without-systemd.org.

Hello! You have to run setupcon without any arguments. Just setupcon and not setupcon /etc/console-setup/cached_Lat15-TerminusBold24x12.psf.gz Anton Zinoviev

Bug#869513: console-setup changes remain only till next reboot
package: console-setup version: 1.164 severity: normal Hello Maintainer ! I have here one Desktop-PC-System and one minimal System plus rsnapshot- package. Both are dist-upgraded from Jessie to Stretch with linux- image-4.9.0-3-686-pae (4.9.30-2+deb9u). The bug is reproduceable. The changes of the console after "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" are as expected, but after next boot they disappear - there is only the small font again, which I can't read well. Always I have to reconfigure the virtual console, when I want to work on it. regards Juwe (alias Harry Haller)
