If you invoke this script with n= o=20 argument, you can a short summary of the usage. Let's say, you store the fo= nt=20 in unifont.pff, then the command is "ruby util/unifont2pff.rb unifont.hex >= =20 unifont.pff". Now you can put this generated file under /boot/grub, and loa= d=20 it by the command "font". You can also specify specific code ranges to unifont2pff.rb, if you need on= ly=20 a subset of supported glyphs. This is necessary if you want to use the=20 ancient technology called "floppy". Honestly, I haven't tried the font manager for a long time. So I won't be=20 surprised even if I hear it is not working well. But last time I tried it (= it=20 was not GRUB 2, but PUPA), it worked well and I saw a menu with Japanese=20 titles. Okuji
