Mojibake in the linux console





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

There was no problem for five years. But when reinstalling Fedora from scratch, she reappeared again.



So, in the console (not the terminal) (Ctrl-Alt-F3, for example), Linux was displayed small squares instead Cyrillic symbols. setfont in which way I fixed it did not work earlier, deduced an error



couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console


Reading the FAQ on Fedora, I found that I need to install some fonts and set it in vconsole.conf



KEYMAP="us"
FONT="ter-v16n"


Did not work. Then rebuilt sudo dracut --- force Instead of squares, mojibake appeared. If I run the command:



sudo setfont ter-v16n



Cyrillic appears, but only for a while. It is necessary to return to the GUI, and then back — the same mojibake.




  1. It is strange that setfont without sudo causes an error and does not work. The guys from the chat say that they work without a root, and yes it was like that for me.


  2. I can not understand why the font is reset when going to another console and returning back.
