The font(s) used by grub2 shouldbe located in /boot/grub2/fonts [root@prophead ~]# ls -l /boot/grub2/fonts total 1316 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1343654 Oct 18 2016 unicode.pf2 > 2.

For example, to convert the FreeSans.ttf font (which is located in /usr/share/fonts/gnu-free) into a 24-point font grub2 can grok called "newfont.pf2": grub2-mkfont -o /tmp/newfont.pf2 --size=24 \ /usr/share/fonts/gnu-free/FreeSans.ttf Then move/copy the file created to /boot/grub2/fonts: cp /tmp/newfont.pf2 /boot/grub2/fonts And put the name of the file into the GRUB_FONT option: GRUB_FONT=newfont.pf2 That oughta do it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Dyslexics of the world: UNTIE! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
