Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
The gfxmenu does not honor the GRUB_FONT environment variable if the
theme loader fails to load the theme. When the theme loader fails to
load a theme, the menu is displayed using text. However, the text
defaults to 'Unknown Regular 16' as coded on line # 65 of view.c. If
this font (unicode.pf2) is not loaded, or a different font is specified
in the GRUB_FONT variable, the text displayed is really ugly and if you
drop to the grub prompt, it's difficult to read. IMHO, view.c should
use any font loaded by the GRUB_FONT variable. This is also the default
behaviour if the 'terminal-font' property is not set in the theme.txt
file.
I'm using Maverick with grub-pc=1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 but I suspect the
above may also be present in Lucid using grub-pc=1.98-1ubuntu (5-10).
This is more of a feature request than a bug. Include the color names
from 'rgb.txt' also in the name_colors.c file. This would give the
themer a much wider range of color names to work with than the limited
few list in the named_colos.cc file.
