Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Fonts with height >16 pixels dont work on VGA consoles due to kernel limitations. The framebuffer needs to be loaded earlier if you want to use such a font.

Probably because you also have KMS, which resets your console. Nothing exciting here. "systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup" will happily show you that it ran.

Ah, I found this when I turned on debug for systemd:

Dec 12 22:07:01 kelebek systemd-vconsole-setup[120]: putfont: KDFONTOP: Invalid argument

Ah, and this thread seems to explain exactly that problem, with the same font...

And the solution there does work. It sets the font a little later, and then successfully.
