If you used grub-mkfont yourself you can use GRUB_FONT_PATH=/boot/myfont.pf2 in /etc/default/grub or /usr/local/default/grub depending what --prefix option was used to ./configure For `set gfxpayload=1024x768x32' or the deprecated `vga=0x317' to work you need at least `insmod vbe' -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer
