[SOLVED]Changing font in linux console doesn't work

Hello,
I installed terminus-font package for pcf font version in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts

Then added to /etc/vconsole.conf

FONT=ter-132.psf.gz

I have nvidia driver which changes my console font, so I added to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

Then

mkinitcpio -P

And have this mistake:

-> Running build hook: [consolefont]
==> ERROR: consolefont: requested font not found: "ter-132.pcf.gz"

I tried a full path in vconsole: /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-132.psf.gz which doesn't work either

What am I doing wrong? And is keymap in config really needed?

P.S. I'm a newbie,so I don't know anything about kernel modules, kernel parameters, hooks and  mkinitcpio

I have only "FONT=ter-120n" in vconsole.conf
