You’re talking about %default-console-font? What does that change?
I’m lost. :-)
We have the following options:
1. status quo, i.e., tcsetattr without %G in the ‘term-ttyN’ services;
2. remove the tcsetattr call, write “1” to
/sys/module/vt/parameters/default_utf8;
3. do nothing (no tcsetattr, no /sys, no %G).
It seems that systemd does everything: %G, tcsetattr, and /sys.
What do we do now?
