Follow-up Comment #9, bug #40330 (project grub): It looks like fontforge is doing something to the PCF font that grub-mkfont/freetype doesn't like.
I started again with the BDF font and ran bdftopcf on it. Then I ran the grub-mkfont command you give below. The output is at http://unifoundry.com/pub/unifont-6.3.20131215/unifont-6.3.20131215.pf2.gz The .sig file is in the same directory. I don't plan to upload the PF2 font to Savannah, as it wasn't built from the source tarball directly; I did it by hand. After running bdftopcf, I set the copyright and version information using fontforge, because bdftopcf drops that information. Maybe freetype only expects whatever bdftopcf puts in a PCF font and nothing more. When I tried it earlier I had not yet applied the fontforge changes. The error is probably in freetype rather than fontforge, but either one could be responsible. I can add auto-building a PF2 font to future Unifont releases for GRUB's sake, in which case I would put a copy in the Savannah directory. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40330> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
