On Artix, I had to copy the /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ directory into /usr/share/consolefonts . Whether I could have used the /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts directory in place or not I don't know (I didn't try). The /etc/conf.d/consolefont file uses the /usr/share/consolefonts path, so I made one.

So the first thing that you have to do (before I find out from someone in the Manjaro forum where the consolefonts directory exists) is see whether you have to clone the directory from /usr/share/kbd/ to /usr/share/ or not. After that is sorted, then you need to choose a font. You won't like doing that. Here is a link to an old page (far fewer suitable fonts & its still too many): [https://alexandre.deverteuil.net/pages/consolefonts/]

Take my advice & use '''ter-132b''' this is a font that is large enough for my 15" 1440p display. I expect that it would be great on a 24" 1080p display. If it is too big, you can use a smaller number as will be easily seen in your consolefonts directory.
