Well, these fonts have its own embedded map. CONSOLE_SCREENMAP is intended for
256-characters fonts without the map. It could work, if you will provide
exactly the same map as the font contains. But such map does not exist as a
separate file. (There is no reason for it.) If you pick a different one, you
will break it.

If I understand correctly, systemd-vconsole-setup.service is started very early
in the boot sequence, when system runs from initrd.
