Howto use proggy fonts on console
Console means that non-graphical environment, just boot the pc and bring straightforward to the console.
I'm not refering to terminal font.
I installed proggy from aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proggyfonts/
But I don't find any console font in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts
I follow this wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … sole_fonts
I see proggy fonts show in this folder `/usr/share/fonts/` but this path should use for other fonts than consolefont.
Can someone give a hand?

Re: Howto use proggy fonts on console
The upstream source of proggyfonts puts out many versions/formats of the fonts, one of them is labeled as Console, but these are not included in the AUR package. You could try getting the Console font directly from upstream, otherwise you'd need to conver one of the packaged formats (e.g., bdf) to psf for use in the console. There are ample tools to do this conversion (e.g., bdf2psf in the aur).

Probably I'll get upstream console source, but what is the link and how to install console font for archlinux?

Re: Howto use proggy fonts on console
The link is in the PKGBUILD and on the aur web interface.
As for installing them, you should make a PKGBUILD - or just modify the existing one. Alternatively you *could* just copy the files to the /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts, but then they'd be untracked.

Sorry but I seem don't find any psf file in those archives in upstream, can you give a look?

Re: Howto use proggy fonts on console
I didn't say there were any with a psf extension, that's why I'm not sure if they'd work or not - but there several formats, one with "Console" on the end of the name.
