Package: console-setup-linux
Version: 1.163
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have a display with a high resolution (280 dpi) and use full disk
encryption. For the frame buffer console, I've changed the font to

CODESET="Lat15"
FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="16x32"

But the prompt for the master password before the system starts (and after
grub) is still the default and very small.

To fix this, I've added these scripts to initramfs-tools:

------------- /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/setup-console -------------
#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
prereqs)
     echo ''
     exit 0
     ;;
esac

. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions
# Begin real processing below this line

copy_exec /bin/setfont
cp /etc/console-setup/cached_Lat15-Terminus32x16.psf.gz "$DESTDIR"/etc/console-font.psf.gz

------------- cat /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/setup-console -------------
#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
prereqs)
     echo "udev"
     exit 0
     ;;
esac

. /scripts/functions
# Begin real processing below this line

if test -x /bin/setfont && test -e /etc/console-font.psf.gz
then
    setfont /etc/console-font.psf.gz
    log_success_msg 'Set console font'
fi

-------------

Can you add files like these to the package, please?

Regards Jörg
