Which font in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts has Polish special character

I want to install Arch on a laptop with high resolution display.
Default installer font has a good size, but there are no ąćśź

My choice till now was Lat2-Terminus16 but this font is barely visible on the display. Do you know if there is a font with Polish characters?

Alternatively try to drive the console at a lower resolution, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torva … modedb.rst

Thank you.
I couldn't find the proper font but I've found the solution (almost)

I can do for example:

setfont Lat2-Terminus16 -m 8859-2 -d

And -d doubles the font size on the screen.

One thing I wasn't able to find is how to put the -d into the /etc/vconsole.conf

This is my "standard" setup:

KEYMAP=pl
FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
FONT_MAP=8859-2

How can I do this?

Afaics "you can't"

man vconsole.conf
man systemd-vconsole-setup.service
systemctl show systemd-vconsole-setup.service
file /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup

You could edit the service and make it run setfont afterwards, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd#Drop-in_files
