[Solved] ERROR: Hook 'font' cannot be found

For a while now I've been getting "ERROR: Hook 'font' cannot be found" when doing a -Syu and a  "==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete."
error: command failed to execute correctly

I'm seem to remember a post here a while ago, though haven't been able to find it again, and nothing on Google, saying just to deleted the word 'font' from the line  HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf kms keyboard keymap font block filesystems fsck) in mmkinitcpio.conf)

The word "font" is back again in my line, but as I recently did a clean install that's probably normal

Is this the solution or is there a better way ?

Thanks

Re: [Solved] ERROR: Hook 'font' cannot be found

Did the # mkinitcpio -p linux"

Hook message effectivly has disaperaed

I also had
  -> Running build hook: [consolefont]
==> WARNING: consolefont: no font found in configuration

But have solved this by adding in /etc/vconsole
FONT=eurlatgr   (I'm running a English language system but a French set-up)

Many thanks to all, will mark this as solved
