TTY 2-6 displaying garbage when vconsole font is set to terminus

`/etc/vconsole.conf`:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FONT=ter-232b
FONT_MAP=8859-2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

but other than TTY 1, all other virtual consoles display garbage characters.

also in TTY 1, pressing tab displays pound symbols (£) instead of doing what tab's supposed to do.

Re: TTY 2-6 displaying garbage when vconsole font is set to terminus

Have you tried any other encodings? It should match your system encoding, as seen by the locale command. If you are unsure, use 8859-1.

FONT=ter-132b
FONT_MAP=8859-1

I also have this problem with ter-*14n, but not with ter-*16n. I am not using FONT_MAP. The problem is that ttys 2-6 show garbled text. I can still log in, and change the fonts with setfont, and then it works, although I can't see what I am typing before running the setfont command.

Re: TTY 2-6 displaying garbage when vconsole font is set to terminus

Tried:

FONT=ter-132b
FONT_MAP=8859-1

Did not work, same issue.

* If I set the font with `setfont` (e.g `setfont ter-132b`) it works fine.
* My encoding is UTF-8

What are all of these font variations (e.g `ter-c32b`, `ter-v32n`)? I know 32 is the size and n/b is the weight, but not sure about the first letter after ter-.

I solved this by adding

setfont ter-v14n

to my .zlogin, probably an ugly workaround, but at least I don't have to change the font manually
