Increase console font size on RaspberryPi 2

Postby art51go » Fri Jan 10, 2020 12:40 pm

I am just working on an RaspberryPi 2 with a small Monitor: 10", fullhd. I made an Arch Linux base-devel installation without X. To Increase the console font size I learned on

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Linux_console

to use the Terminus-Font and execute:

setfont /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-132n.psf.gz

This worked fine and look great. But when I shutdown the System it runs into an endless loop of error messages. The same happens, when I simply work on the system a while. in the journal there are repeating errors like:

Jan 10 13:00:22 erik systemd[1]: systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service: Succeeded.

Any Idea, what can be done?

Kind Regards
