The font for the first line is a GRUB thing and determined by GRUB_FONT in /etc/default/grub. The font for the second line is probably determined by a video card font. My second line is brighter than the first. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Perhaps the screen isn't dimmer, it's that the lines in the characters are thinner. During the early stages of the boot process, the default hardware font of the video card is being used. At some point, console-setup runs and changes the font based on the specifications found in /etc/default/console-setup. The only thing is, this occurs later in the boot process than the point you describe above. The other possibility is that a KMS-active kernel video module is being loaded, such as nouveau or i915, which switches the console into a frame-buffer-like state. The only thing is that it seems to me that this process also occurs later in the boot process than what you describe above. -- .''`.

I think this result in not change kernel standard fonts... not sure.

how to stop console font dimming?
Gentlemen, upon boot I see Loading initial ramdisk Loading, please wait... with the second line dimmer than the first. "No big deal", but how can I stop such dimming? All I know is the second line is from /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init, and I like GRUB_TERMINAL=console . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
