[Bug 1599635] Re: Console font width should be consistent on startup

[Martin Pitt]

This is likely a wontfix -- the original font is set by the BIOS/EFI,
and Linux can only set its own later on.

** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => console-setup (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

Title:
  Console font width should be consistent on startup

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I start my machine the console output is shown (so no splash
  screen, just the console output about my system starting up), and I
  have noticed that since upgrading to 16.04 from 15.10 (and I noticed
  that this happened about half way through the upgrade process as well)
  that on every startup for the first 5 seconds or something the text is
  what I would describe as "bold", but then after that it suddenly
  becomes just "normal" and much thinner. In fact I find it harder to
  read in this thinner state and would much prefer the thicker one.

  So here is what I would like to see:

   1. For the text width to be consistent throughout the startup (for it
  to either start off as bold and stay as bold, or start off as thin and
  stay as thin).

   2. For the user to perhaps also be given the option to decide in
  their configuration whether or not they want the text to be thin or
  bold.
