I'm installing Archlinux with live usb on a Dell with hdpi display in UEFI mode. The live usb boot into TTY 1 and, due to hdpi, font is so small that it's almost unreadable. I've read that booting with nomodeset should solve the issues but I don't know how to pass it to the live usb. How do I do that? Our is there another way to get bigger fonts on hdpi display?

- Thanks I came across the same in the end... I've 22 pixel font now which is still small but at least readable. I'll try the bigger ones in the suggested packageslviggiani– lviggiani2017-07-08 11:04:07 +00:00Commented Jul 8, 2017 at 11:04

Maybe try to change the font in /etc/vconsole.conf to latarcyrheb-sun32: In /etc/vconsole.conf:
FONT=latarcyrheb-sun32 And after do sudo systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.
I hope it will help.
