[Bug 668812] Re: Configured console font not set at boot

[Sly_tom_cat]

I can't really understand why this is expired? I have the same issues in Xubunu 10.10, 11.04, and 11.10.
Adding FRAMEBUFFER=Y in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and updating initrd (sudo update-initramfs -u) helps to solve this issue in 11.04 and 11.10 at least.
But why it is not set properly from the box?

Title:
  Configured console font not set at boot

Status in “console-setup” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: console-setup

  It appears that console-setup no longer calls setupcon, which reads
  the user preferences from /etc/default/console-setup, during boot.
  The upstart version of the script in /etc/init/console-setup.conf just
  calls loadkeys which does not set the console font.  I tried modifying
  /etc/init/console-setup.conf to exec setupcon instead, but that didn't
  work.  Calling setupcon from /etc/rc.local does work however.

  The console font was set correctly in 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

  This is a clean install and not an upgrade.
