Perhaps the grub.cfg I used on the Fedora disk would illustrate it:

set default=0
set timeout=5
if font /boot/grub/unifont.pff ; then
  set gfxmode=640x480
  insmod gfxterm
  insmod vbe
  terminal gfxterm
  insmod png
  background_image /isolinux/splash.png
fi

menuentry "Install Fedora 9 Beta" {
	linux	/isolinux/vmlinuz
	initrd	/isolinux/initrd.img
}

menuentry "Install Fedora 9 Beta (text mode)" {
	linux	/isolinux/vmlinuz text
	initrd	/isolinux/initrd.img
}

menuentry "Rescue installed system" {
	linux	/isolinux/vmlinuz rescue
	initrd	/isolinux/initrd.img
}

menuentry "Boot from local drive" {
	chainloader	(hd0)+1
}

menuentry "Test memory" {
	linux	/boot/memtest
}

It only works for gfxterm.

Debian still has it:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/unifont/unifont_1.0.orig.tar.gz

No idea what happened to the original distributor.
