Summary
This change introduces support for an optional
customflagsvariable in/etc/conf.d/consolefont, allowing users to pass additional arguments to thesetfontcommand.Motivation
Currently, the
consolefontOpenRC service does not provide a way to customize the arguments passed tosetfont. Users who need non-default behavior (for example, using the-dflag for double-size fonts) must modify/etc/init.d/consolefontdirectly.Since this file is owned by the package, such changes are overwritten on upgrade, forcing users to rely on fragile workarounds such as patching via package manager hooks.
Proposed solution
Introduce a new optional variable:
customflags=""This variable is sourced from
/etc/conf.d/consolefontand appended to thesetfontinvocation:setfont $customflags $consolefont $param -C $ttydev$x >/dev/nullBenefits
/etc/conf.d/*Backward compatibility
No changes in behavior for existing users. If
customflagsis unset or empty, the command behaves exactly as before.Example usage
To enable double-size console fonts:
consolefont="Lat2-Terminus16"customflags="-d"
