Agreed. To increase font size regenerate unicode.pf2 using grub-mkfont with appropriate -s option. E.g. grub-mkfont -s 24 -o unicode.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/X11/mis/unifont.pcf.gz Put resulting file in /boot/grub/unicode_24.pf2 and add GRUB_FONT_PATH=/boot/grub/unicode_24.pf2 to /etc/default/grub > Chris Murphy > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel > -- Regards Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko
