I see.

Diffs that ignore spacing changes are OK for review, but not for applying as is. I think it would be more natural to let the user specify the full path to the file. Setting LANG=C seems unneeded in this case. After all, it's the user's choice, and we cannot examine the font file to check which characters it has. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
