I think using system fonts is fine. Current update-grub has logic to detect

You probably misunderstand. System fonts are located in BIOS. I think
it might also be possible to read them back from a VGA compatible card.
This is what I was pointing to. But there are most likely systems where
this font information is stored elsewhere. And actually VGA font sizes
are usually too small for larger displays. (and so is ours)
