I tried that already without any effect.

Today I search again for the solution and find it here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Console_fonts

and from there by following the 'Kernel Mode Setting#Early KMS'  link
here: 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Mode_Setting#Early_KMS_start

Bellow follows, what I did:

1. edit and save /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=hu101
FONT=ter-216n
FONT_MAP=8859-2

2. edit and save /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
MODULES="i915"

   NOTE: I have Acer Laptop with integrated Intel graphic card,
	      so I must use i915 module.

3. rebuild my kernel image linux-libre:
# mkinitcpio -p linux-libre

   NOTE: I'm running the ParabolaGNUlinux with linux-libre kernel.

4. reboot

I have now on every /dev/tty virtual console the Lat2-Terminus16 fonts.

Now I shall install some Terminus fonts to get bigger fonts on my
virtual consoles:
