These are intentionally separated to avoid causing other problems (the
rules for when one may safely set the font are rather complicated - with
some console drivers, it's vital that the foreground virtual console not
be in KD_GRAPHICS mode in order to avoid corrupting graphics memory).
The font is intended to be set from /lib/udev/rules.d/85-keyboard-
configuration.rules, and indeed should have already been set from an
initramfs script before that.  Perhaps you could debug why that isn't
working for you?

Title:
  /lib/systemd/system/console-setup.service has incorrect ExecStart

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  /lib/systemd/system/console-setup.service as provided by this package
  (confirmed in vivid and wily) specifies:

  [Service]
  Type=oneshot
  ExecStart=/usr/bin/loadkeys /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz

  The "ExecStart" line will set the keyboard map but not the font,
  therefore the font remains at the default VGA font and framebuffer
  console mode is not enabled.

  The correct line which will set up both the keyboard map and the font
  is:

  ExecStart=/bin/setupcon

  The complete modified file is attached.

  I would be willing to submit a pull request on the relevant git
  repository if someone could point me in the right direction.
