     I am getting the following error message displayed before the display of the grub boot menu, can someone explain to me what this means and why it is occurring in F37 when it was never produced in F36, and what I need to do to rectify it?

That's not a file you'll find on your system.  That's just identifying where in the grub code that the error message is coming from.  As you say the grub-gfxmode command isn't working now, I would assume that's what is causing the error message because it's not allowed with secure boot enabled. You most likely have to stay with the graphics mode that is initialized by the BIOS.
Thanks Samuel. Are you saying that grub command is not allowed if F37 because F37 is now booting via grub with full secure boot enabled, whereas with the way F36 booted that grub command was honoured and the menus and theme were displayed in that resolution with full secure boot enabled?

That was just a guess and I think it was wrong now.  I checked the source and that error message is related to file loading.  I would have to see your config file to make a guess about what file it was trying to load.
I backed the fix out and disabled the testing repository, which backed grub out to 2.06.63. I did a further backout which backed grub out to 2.06.58 which supposedly doesn't have the issue, but a rebuild of grub.cfg and reboot still displayed the message, still ignored the specified resolution and ignored the gfxterm specification because it is still not displaying the theme. I could try switching to the breeze them with is supplied in the repositories. After the boot, I issued sudo dnf upgrade --refresh grub2\* to reinstall the offending grub version, but that installed grub 2.06.67, which was the version in the testing repositories, so it looks like it has been migrated to the "stable" repositories even though the bugzilla entry was indicating they may not be up to scratch. Having gone back to this version of grub it looks like the message is being produced for all 6 fonts the theme is loading.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to sign the fonts?

regards,
Steve
