I think using system fonts is fine. Current update-grub has logic to detect them, and enable them when present. It checks (via grub-probe) that GRUB will be able to read them before doing so. Additionaly, the grub.cfg it generates will instruct GRUB to fallback sanely to console when fonts aren't readable. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
