like to increase the font size in Grub (v2.12, at least I
think that's the better alternative to just lowering the
resolution) and opted to just use a custom font as there seems
to be an OTF version of "GNU Unifont", though it seems to be
jagged by design, but I'm running into issues. I thought about
just using Noto Mono Regular for it, as Noto is supposed to
always work and a monospaced font is recommended for easier
setting of letters, as Grub uses bitmap fonts. Now my issue is
that on one hand, the conversion to a bitmap font seems to be
quite bad, the letters look really jagged. On the other hand,
it seems that despite Noto supposed to being about no tofu, I
actually get a lot of tofu. Both the up and down arrows in the
description text at the bottom of grubs boot selector and the
border around everything is just made up of tofu. And I tried
converting the font with both grub-mkfont and Grub Customizer,
same result.<br>

<p>What command line are you using? I've used the following in the
past "grub-mkfont -o dejavu_12.pf -a -s 12
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf"</p>
<p>You also mention that you're trying Unifont and Noto - are you
trying to display characters beyond the range of ASCII? I've not
tried displaying much more than English text. You might need to
use the "-r" option if you are.<br>

So what exactly are the requirements for fonts to be used in
Grub so that they are converted to PFF2 fonts in a higher
quality and don't show tofu?<br>
