I understand that Chris typed the wrong directory. Instead of mis it should have been misc.
I also found I did not have the package unifont installed. I installed unifont, and now I have the file in the misc folder: locate unifont.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/unifont.pcf.gz However when I run this command I receive an error that I cannot generate 24x24 font size. # grub-mkfont -s 24 -o unicode.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/unifont.pcf.gz grub-mkfont: error: can't set 24x24 font size. Do I need a package to generate these font sizes, if so, which ones? Thanks, DR On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 10:10 AM, D.J.J. Ring, Jr. <n...@arrl.net> wrote: > I understand now.
