Probably you want the following installed:

```shell
yay -S \
adobe-source-code-pro-fonts \
awesome-terminal-fonts \
cantarell-fonts \
noto-fonts \
noto-fonts-emoji \
noto-fonts-cjk \
noto-fonts-extra \
terminus-font \
ttf-cascadia-code \
ttf-dejavu \
ttf-font-awesome \
ttf-font-icons \
ttf-liberation \
ttf-opensans \
terminus-font
```

## Console

Install `yay -S terminus-font` if not already done above.

Edit `/etc/vconsole.conf`, but depending on your output resolution you might want to have different sizes, e.g. `v16n` for `1080p`, `v22n` for `1440p` and `v32n` for 4K although `v22n` will mostly do for Full HD and WQHD.

```properties
KEYMAP=de-latin1-nodeadkeys
FONT=ter-v22n
```

To make it available early, add `consolefont` into your `HOOKS=(... consolefont)` of `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`.
