Second issue: when I activate the framebuffer with some default resolution (say 1024x768 vga=773), the font is set properly, but it is not kept: a few seconds after setting the font, the screen resolution changes and the font goes back to the default. Once the computer has finished booting, if I log in as root, source /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.d/functions, then call set_consolefont manually, the console fonts are set properly and kept until I reboot.
The framebuffer is reset because KMS is enabled. I would remove any 'vga' line from your config and try enabling early KMS in your initcpio: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Mode_Setting#Early_KMS_start ~Celti
