You sure you want that? See https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/l-lpic1-101-2/ " ... erase the words 'quiet', then 'rhgb'. This will stop the Red Hat Graphical Boot screen that fedora normally display during boot and also stop suppressing many of the messages that are normally generated." > GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm" gfxterm: does that result in small fonts boot messages?

I suspect with your current setup you're making things more complicated than necessary. You already wrote that you have now readable fonts on the console on a running system - so maybe turning on verbose boot messages by removing "rghb quiet" plus disabling graphical boot by ordering "GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"" will help giving you decent readable boot messages. And I suspect that without setting up specific fonts in grub might trigger it to read '/etc/vconsole.conf' ... The IBM page above seems to instruct how to change boot parameters for the current boot only: "When you see the GRUB2 menu, you can edit the entry that you want to modify by selecting it and then pressing e." and thus - I think - not change your standard boot setup for the following bootups ... So this approach seems to give a nice environment to test boot parameters before writing them down permanently into grub files ... Good luck!
