as of 2015-08-27 it seems the only way to permanently set the keyboard-layout in the console permanently is to update grub.cfg

<pre><code class="bash">

vim /etc/default/grub

</code></pre>

set @vconsole.keymap=xx@

regenerate grub

<pre><code class="bash">

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

</code></pre>

reboot

<pre><code class="bash">

reboot

</code></pre>

h2. set font for console

If you are lucky to call a 4k-display your own you better have a large screen.

For a 15.6"-screen the default font is rather small.

<pre><code class="bash">

vim /etc/vconsole.conf

</code></pre>

change font from @FONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"@ to

<pre><code class="ini">

FONT="latarcyrheb-sun32"

</code></pre>

it will take a reboot to take this change into account

<pre><code class="bash">

reboot

</code></pre>

if you wnat to use another font, your available fonts are found in

@/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts@
