Details
Description:
The install image lacks large raster fonts, like the ones provided by the package community/terminus-font. This makes the install process very hard until one manages to connect to the internet to install terminus-font and selects a large font (e.g. ter-u32n) on the live system. Additional info: * Arch Linux image 2016.04.01 Steps to reproduce: * Burn the Arch image to a CD or USB stick. * Boot it on a device with high DPI display (e.g. 15" 4K). * Look at fonts. Proposed solution: Please add any big raster font to the install image. |

@Scimmia but the deppendency need to exist because that ensure the hook can run.
I think either splith the package or add a new big consolefont for that case.
an now to the font issue, we not need to use terminus, just need to add Any raster font that meet the request, terminus is just the one that OP know, the minimal requested is just a font to be used with the install, so we can start looking other options in internet or the AUR. Do you know another font that do what is need in the bug?
