Console Font mkinitcpio

So mkinitcpio gives me an error message when I try building it with support for the tamsyn-font, requiring it to be in a psf.gz or psfu.gz format while the tamsyn font is in psf. I tried gzipping but still get the same error message.

Re: Console Font mkinitcpio

mkinitcpio's consolefont hook expects the font name in rc.conf without any extension, and the font file in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts with either psf.gz or psfu.gz. This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere - I just had a look at the hook when I had a similar issue.
