No, setfont is very much included. It's part of busybox and a
symlink to busybox is created when rdinit first runs. We've done
this for as long as we've been using busybox in mkinitcpio, and
it's always worked.
My appologies. For some reason adding the setfont binary seemed to
fix it for me, but looking into it further it seems like when my
graphics driver loads, it sets the font back. I put the graphics
driver as a boot module and everything seems fine with font
changing now. Sorry to cause trouble.
