configure your TTY¶

show current status

localectl

show the list of keymaps

localectl list-keymaps

set keymap

localectl set-keymap de

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

vim /etc/default/grub

set vconsole.keymap=xx

regenerate grub

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

reboot

reboot

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.

vim /etc/vconsole.conf

change font from FONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" to

FONT="latarcyrheb-sun32" 

it will take a reboot to take this change into account

reboot

if you wnat to use another font, your available fonts are found in
/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts
