Bigger font in console


On Archlinux, how to get bigger fonts in the console? (i.e. the text before we boot to Wayland).

Run the following commands as root:

  1. Install terminus-font package
pacman -S terminus-font
  1. Add a line to /etc/vconsole.conf
echo 'FONT=ter-i28b' | tee -a /etc/vconsole.conf
  1. Rebuild init ramdisk:
mkinitcpio -P
  1. Reboot and be amazed ;-)
