[solved] setfont: KDFONTOP: function not implemented

Hello!

My system set the font for the TTYS for years like this:

/etc/vconsole.conf

FONT=ter-116n
KEYMAP=us

Now it started to print the error message in the subject. I'm rather sure it should work without adding a binary. And actually it does, the correct font is loaded on the TTYs! Why is this message printed?

Thanks

// edit
Seems to be a bug triggered by systemd >= 253.2-1.

Ah ...

Or

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78052

Or litterally dozens of other spot-on matches for any web search for this error message.

Thanks Trilby
I didn't noticed the #78052 about systemd-253.2-1 and consolefont, which answers my desire.

I read the forum post already and put it aside, it is older and seems not related.
