[systemd-devel] [PATCH] Arch: default to FONT=""

[Tom Gundersen]

We do this for several reasons:

 * it is counter-intuitive that an empty vconsole.conf file is different
   from adding FONT="";
 * the version of the default font shipped with Arch (the upstream one)
   behaves very badly during early boot[0];
 * the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to
   use that unless anything else is specified. This also avoids a
   needless call to setfont.

Any objections to making this the systemd default? We'd rather not deviate
from upstream unless we have to. I'd be happy to supply the patch and update
the documentation.
