Is it possible to have a font with only these characters plus if necessary some computer-specific characters? 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)
certainly we can. However the problem is I don't have char-frequency statistics for Japanese Kanji/Korean Hanja, also even for Chinese, it's from 1980s.
We can try IICore [1], which has about 10,000 char. [1] http://www.ogcio.gov.hk/ccli/eng/structure/iicorecompare.html
Another question: are glyphs imported into unifont from ttf fonts are vector-based?
no, they are manually drawn, similar for WenQuanYi's bitmaps. Only that way, you can ensure the clearest look in small glyph sizes (and it took years). _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
