vconsole font not always set after boot

Hello,

I have set a custom font in /etc/vconsole.conf:

$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf 
FONT=ter-124n

It is always set while booting, as I can distinguish it correctly while my luks passphrase is asked. However, sometimes when I go back to the TTY or shutdown, it's the standard VGA font again, but not always.

My HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf looks like this:

HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect keyboard sd-vconsole modconf block sd-encrypt filesystems fsck)

What looks strange is the absence of start of systemd-vconsole-setup:

● systemd-vconsole-setup.service - Setup Virtual Console
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:systemd-vconsole-setup.service(8)
           man:vconsole.conf(5)

Did you already have the same issue and found a solution?
