At long last, my Nvidia Maxwell card worked out of the box on my 4K monitor using the nouveau drivers that come with fedora 24! I no longer need the nvidia binaries to get a non-black screen :-).
But speaking of 4K monitors, in tty mode during boot the characters are about the size of gnats.
Will the SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun32 kernel parameter give me a larger console font these days, or is there some other magic required to change the default console font?
Ha! I found the /etc/vconsole.conf file with some google searching. I can define FONT in there to be latarcyrheb-sun32 and now I get characters the size of 4 gnats instead of just one :-).
Much more readable when booting.

I have been trying now for some time to set the font change permanently. If I do 'setfont latarcyrheb-sun32' in a console this works immediately.
Trying to make this change permanent via /etc/vconsole.conf just does not work in my case: to read grub menu or work in a console I need a magnifying glass! (Unless of course I 'setfont' manually everytime).
Systemd should surely work after a reboot or restart of systemd- vconsole-setup.service.
How did you get it working?

Not the OP, but in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg my boot lines are like this:
linux16 /vmlinuz-4.7.0-0.rc3.git3.1.20160619.fc25.x86_64 root=UUID=8eff2afe-0af6-4866-b7fd-f3250b84053a ro SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=uneaf
and my sysfont comes up correctly. Would this work for you?

No. This does not work either.

Would it help to set a video resolution? My grub.cfg linux lines end with "video=1920x1080", to match my monitor; you could set a resolution you can live with.

The only thing I changed was the vconsole.conf file. Perhaps the timing of what happens when is different for different drivers, but with nouveau, that's all I needed.
I do have "rhgb" and "quiet" removed in grub.cfg on the kernel options so I can see what is happening instead of watching a useless fedora logo being drawn.
Perhaps having the console visible earlier it what made it work for me?

I am beginning to suspect it has something to do with 'timing' and the Intel driver (Intel HD graphics only). I shall try to get more details.
