Hi Max,
    I was under the impression that for UEFI boots Fedora loaded 
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg which loads /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, so when 
you run grub2-mkconfig you need to specify grub2-mkconfig -o 
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg, as I do, to get you font changes into the grub 
boot menus.

regards,
Steve
