I debugged this with coolo. The font loaded now in OpenQA is the one we specify in /etc/sysconfig/console, "lat9w-16.psfu" The failing openQA needle from the old system is some other fun (egg shaped 0 with a dot inside) and if on old systemd we do "systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service" we get the new and current one. So whatever changed in systemd made it use the font we actually want already. (We are not sure how it fixed this, 90-vconsole.rules perhaps or other things.)
[http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-02/msg00273.html] The underlying bug is that fonts are applied at an inappropriate time when the console is still in flux, so you either see one or the other font. As such, the dracut "fix" is not one; if it sets the right font, that is just an accident, because *more* modules may get loaded after dracut has passed control, resetting the font again. In particular: i915, something which may not actually be tested in the vesafb-using qemu environment of openqa. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
