Hello everyone!
I installed Arch and in the installer, after I set the Hungarian keyboard all the accented letters (öüóőúéáűí) displayed correctly.
I configured the localization in /etc/rc.conf and made the Hungarian locale available.
When the system started up after install, some fonts work (like é and á) and some (like ű) display as a square.
If I set the locale to the iso88592 from the UTF version, all the accented letters appear, but the accents themselves appear wrongly.
The relevant part from my rc.conf:
KEYMAP="hu.map.gz"
CONSOLEFONT="lat2-16.psfu.gz"
CONSOLEMAP=
LOCALE="hu_HU.utf8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="yes"
USECOLOR="yes"
Do you know what the problem could be?

squares == the font does not have the character.
Leave the locale as utf8, it is not the problem, but find some font that has the characters you need.

I booted the netinstall CD, selected "hu.map.gz" as the keymap and "lat2-16.psfu.gz" as the consolefont, and on the netinstall CD, all the hungarian characters worked correctly.
What could be different on the installed system that prevents it from working?
Edit:
It appears that this could be traced back to this bug:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29781
Setting the fonts with the "setfont" command does work, but when I restart the system it forgets it, maybe because of the graphics driver as someone mentioned in the comments.

Here is the relevant section of my /etc/rc.conf, I'm hungarian too.
Be careful with typos.
LOCALE="hu_HU.UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="no"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Budapest"
KEYMAP="hu"
CONSOLEFONT="lat2-16"
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

Thanks, I tried out your version of the conf file, but it didn't solve the problem for me.
Edit:
It seems like the culprit was the noveau driver. I installed NVIDIA, and everything works now.
