From https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/gfxmode.html The default is ‘auto’, which selects a platform-specific default that should look reasonable. I wonder if your "default" is the same as GRUB's "default". Also, whatever default resolution you get will affect the perceived font size, no matter what font face is used. > My optimal solution will be of the form [*NOT* checked for syntax yet] > grub-mkfont -o /boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2 -s MYSIZE > /path/to/Example.ttf Do you really want to overwrite the system's unicode.pf2? -- Brian.
