I don't expect users to write poems in grub and so such reduced font would be well-suited for applications when size matters (e.g. embedding grub2 into flash rom) Another question: are glyphs imported into unifont from ttf fonts are vector-based? And also I would like to thank you and Michal that you answered most of the questions I had about Chinese support even without me asking them :) > [1] http://www.jiyili.net/thread-27521-1-1.html (based on a national > survey in 1980s) > >> Thanks >> >> Michal >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Grub-devel mailing list >> Grub-devel@gnu.org >> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel >> >> > > > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel >
