vconsole.conf issue

I've been having some issues with the eurlatgr font + tuigreet (not drawing borders correctly) so I thought as a solution I could just place a modified vconsole.conf with another font chosen on my repo's /etc folder to be copied over with everything else. I did a fresh install of Sericea on a VM, rebased to my image, and saw that the font still remained eurlatgr despite the image building successfully and all my other files being there. Is there a better way to do this automatically? Curious enough, I checked the vconsole.conf in /usr/etc and it did have the correct font set, I made sure to copy my files to /etc and not /usr/etc too

is the file wrong in /etc/, or are the updates to the file in /etc/ not causing any changes (to the font etc)? if it's just the case that the file in /etc/ on your booted system is not changing, it's likely an issue of rpm-ostree noticing the files being out of sync and not updating, which a manual copy should resolve

Also isn't that file modified at install by Anaconda

could be, that would mean that maybe a systemd unit could be used to edit the file instead

Missed the responses lol, but it just seems like the file isn't being replaced like it should be despite the module running fine. It's strange cause any other files I have in /etc/ will show up like expected including any overrides. I've since just made a systemd unit like you said, but still the module behavior here is a bit weird to me.
