I have systems downloading various wims to 'boot.wim' as he has without issue, 
yep! 
But! I do not have personal experience using bootmgr without fonts (prior to 
Windows 8), nor info on the potential impact it has on errors. I just gleaned 
that from the documentation / fourms discussions. For example, the iPXE 
documentation has examples on http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe and 
http://ipxe.org/howto/sccm where fonts are listed for older bootmgrs. 
Thanks,--Ian
