# yum install terminus-fonts-console
- permanent system wide
/etc/vconsole.conf
FONT=<Big mama font>
e.g. 'latarcyrheb-sun32' or 'ter-v32b'
- runtime local
$ setfont latarcyrheb-sun32
$ setfont ter-v32b
systemd-214-5.fc21.x86_64
kernel-3.16.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc21.x86_64
It seems this kernel? bug is still present[2].
"rd.vconsole.font=ter-v32b" also fails to subsist due to
"fb: switching to nouveaufb from VESA VGA".

I've found so far that this can only be overcome with these two almost identical
solutions;
When I thought of 'actual-vconsole-setup-start' I did not know that Yegor already
done it.
Saṃsāra.
Yegor's solution[1]:
# cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service /etc/systemd/system/
# diff /etc/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service \
/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service
13,14c13,14
< After=sysinit.target
< Before=shutdown.target
---
After=systemd-readahead-collect.service
systemd-readahead-replay.service
Before=sysinit.target shutdown.target
or even simpler - leave 'systemd-vconsole-setup.service' as is,
and make this one
/etc/systemd/system/actual-vconsole-setup-start.service:
# Actual Virtual Console Setup Start
[Unit]
Description=Actual Virtual Console Setup Start
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup
[Install]
WantedBy=rescue.target multi-user.target
# systemctl enable actual-vconsole-setup-start.service
and now you have appropriate font size for 1920x1080,
no need to lower resolution via "video=<xres>x<yres>".
Perhaps '32' is too large, so choose <= '28', e.g. ter-v28b or
ter-v24b.
