tty change font size arch / debian

In Arch Linux:

ls -l /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ | grep -i ".ter-v32b.gz"

To list all available fonts, you can do:
fc-list

And search for a font with:
fc-list | grep -i "font name"
sudo pacman -S terminus-font
You'll get lot of new fonts added to /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts.
I wanted to get bigger fonts in tty as my screen is distant.
So i did
sudo nano /etc/vconsole.conf
to add
FONT=ter-v32b
svae the file with "Ctrl+o" and exit with "Ctrl+x".
After a reboot i got the right font but my keymapping in tty was overwritten so i did
 sudo localectl --no-convert set-keymap de-latin1-nodeadkeys
and i got the german keyboard layout in tty back.


In Debian:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
