Comment 17 for bug 433897

I have to confirm this in lunar too! Wow, the longest bug I've ever seen (from 2009).
Can someone explain why this is happening in simple terms? I see the font changed correctly but then get reset just before the boot splash screen for some reason. I've tried both workarounds (udev rule and the console-font.conf) to no avail. Why is so difficult to set a service (which is working btw) to start later in the boot process? I don't understand systemd intricacies and quirks.
