Some minor info, for those who want/can investigate the bug. I have two
boxes. The first one has ATI board and console font is not set
correctly. The other has NVidia board where console font works out of
the box. I suspect that the issue somehow related to framebuffer
migration to KMS/DRM based code. I see that current ATI framebuffer
implementation does not load dedicated kernel module for framebuffer.
Probably initramfs cannot properly detect framebuffer presence because
of this.
Sorry, thats all I have, right now.

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.
