Hi, everyone, My name is Les Howell. I do semiconductor test programs for mainframe ATE. My current issue is with GRUB2. I am slightly visually impaired due to glaucoma. This is important, because setting my system up to use bigger fonts is vital for me to use it. The problem I ran into when upgrading to F17 from F16 is that the font settings do not work the same in Grub 2. I have worked very hard at finding solutions and using them from our friend Google and from the forum, but have not yet been successful. My issue is therefore of several parts: 1. Where can I find a really good manual on Grub2? 2. What is the exact process to upgrade the font to say size 18 or so in Grub2? 3. What is the exact process to change the font and color in Grub2. I found a solution that seemed to appear redundantly on various places that suggested the following process: A. find the font you want. B. use # grub-mkfont inputfontname -o /grub/fonts/fontname C. edit /etc/default/grub by adding a line to the new font as: GRUB_FONT="/boot/grub2/fonts/fontname" D. use # grub-mkcfg I did these steps, but no joy. In addition, the fonts I tried all gave me errors on one or more of the symbols (19 different fonts, mostly mono-space or arial for visibility reasons.) I know this is not a users forum, but this issue has implications that need addressing at a much deeper stage. It is difficult for me to research this due to the vision problem, and it is important for me to be able to participate more. Thank you for your attention.
