hi,
I'm very glad to be able to install Arch on an HP T5455.
but ter-112n.psf.gz font doesn't set automatically at boot.
here's what journalctl says :
# journalctl | grep [fF]ail

/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-112n.psf.gz does exist.
I already stfw, without solving the trouble.
I configured grub gfxpayload to fit my screen.
I added
vconsole.font=/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-112n.psf.gz
still no ter-112n until I setfont manually.
any idea ?
at least, what could be an equivalent : a sans serif 12 pixels font that will work.

this works with uncompressed file.
thank you.

I was having a similar issue, where my virtual console keymap was not being set at boot despite my /etc/vconsole.conf being properly configured. I can confirm that uncompressing the corresponding keymap file solved the issue.
I stumbled onto a different way of solving it, though. Adding the 'keymap' module to my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (mentioned here) and regenerating the initramfs got my keyboard layout to correctly get set at boot, even after I removed the previously mentioned uncompressed keymap file. I tried with the sd-vconsole module first, but that didn't work. I imagine the consolefont module would solve OP's issue.
