I understand now. The config files are up to the Distibution. I tried what you advised, Chris, but I have no such directory:
ls /usr/share/fonts/X11/ 100dpi/ 75dpi/ encodings/ misc/ Type1/ util/ So the command: grub-mkfont -s 24 -o unicode.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/X11/mis/unifont.pcf.gz fails on me. # can't open file /usr/share/fonts/X11/mis/unifont.pcf.gz, index 0: error 1: cannot open resource Furthermore, I have no such file unifont.pcf.gz on the system. Can you be of further help, I very much appreciate your help. David J.
