Bug Description
When I start my machine the console output is shown (so no splash screen, just the console output about my system starting up), and I have noticed that since upgrading to 16.04 from 15.10 (and I noticed that this happened about half way through the upgrade process as well) that on every startup for the first 5 seconds or something the text is what I would describe as "bold", but then after that it suddenly becomes just "normal" and much thinner. In fact I find it harder to read in this thinner state and would much prefer the thicker one.
So here is what I would like to see:
1. For the text width to be consistent throughout the startup (for it to either start off as bold and stay as bold, or start off as thin and stay as thin).
2. For the user to perhaps also be given the option to decide in their configuration whether or not they want the text to be thin or bold.
summary: |
- Console font width should be consistent at startup + Console font width should be consistent on startup |
This is likely a wontfix -- the original font is set by the BIOS/EFI, and Linux can only set its own later on.
