This is a known problem, and I don't have a good general solution. The problem is (I think), that your font is set before your graphics driver has been loaded, and once the graphics driver has been loaded the settings are lost. Essentially what needs to happen is that systemd-vconsole-setup.service must be run after the graphics driver has been loaded. Three ways to do this: 1) put your graphics driver in MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf. 2) put your graphics driver in /etc/modules-load.d/graphics.conf and order systemd-vconsole-setup.service After systemd-modules-load.service. 3) order systemd-vconsole-setup.service After and Wants systemd-udev-settle.service. Option 2) probably is the best as it has the least impact on boot speed (I guess). -t
