As a starting point, it would be enough to assume that= =20 we always use a fixed size (currently, 8x16 or mutiples of 8x16). In the=20 future, we will want to support different size or even vector fonts. > Anyway, here is first draft and I would like to get some comments about i= t: > > http://jumi.lut.fi/~vjaaskel/grub2/ Can you put the contents on the wiki?
