giant font hints that you do not have loader.efi updated in ESP, that is you have the font but not D50258. (D50258 probably has to have || in its check;) The screen clear is something I’m working about now. There are some things to change about it - we have screen map and should use it to skip “clearing” the clear areas, but resolution and font changes need a bit of attention. rgds, toomas
