Hello everyone,
At each boot, the line where it loads the console font fails. The font configured in rc.conf is "161", it's the one by default on installation.
/var/log/boot
Loading Console Font: 161 ^[[231G [BUSY] ^[[231G [FAIL]It's a fresh install done today.
Any idea why it would fail that?

Navigate to /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts, pick the font, test it by issuing
setfont font-name.gz-- and if everything works OK, add it to rc.conf and rebuild your initramfs.
Edit (because I'm extremely short-minded): while adding the font to the rc.conf file, do so without any extensions, eg. Uni2-Fixed16. And 2: before you rebuild your initramfs, it's wise to add "consolefont" to HOOKS in mkinitcpio.conf. It's not obligatory, but this way the new font will become active at the earliest boot stage.

When I do "setfont name" on this font, it tells me that I have to choose one of the fonts contained using -8 for example. I've used -16 and it works.
Could it come from there?
EDIT: What's "initramfs" that I have to rebuild?

I solved it with what you said, and by following the console font part in the wiki [1].
