Just a note that as character set is Unicode based it could be possible that some glyphs are not included in fonts. So either we just try to draw it with specified glyph (and get dummy glyph) or it should be detected by some party and just use glyphs that are included. Actually it is also possible to have 0 glyphs loaded ;). I am not so sure is this so nice, but thats the current state. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
