I solved my small console fonts by keeping the large terminus ter-v32b font in my vconsole.conf and rather switching Plymouth off.
I disabled Plymouth by adding
plymouth.enable=0
to Kernel Parameters through Yast Bootloader config UI:
I’m not really sure what was Plymouth for. My boot always flickered annoyingly between text console, graphic and resolutions anyway. Splash screen was off (set by OS, not by me).
