Probably not; the licenses may not be compatible with GPLv3. These fonts are ones that came with X.Org on my system, and I just exported them to BDF files with 'xmbdfed' and then converted the BDF files to PF2 files with the GRUB font converter. Some of the fonts I used during my development of the graphical menu system are from the "Artwiz" bitmap font collection, which is a set of several fonts, but most all quite small in size (really no selection of font size within a font). I haven't spent a lot of time seeking out good free fonts that we could include in GRUB. I use the fabulous Liberation TrueType fonts on my desktop, but these are outline fonts, not bitmap fonts. I tried creating a bitmap font from some decent TrueType outline fonts using xmbdfed, but the results were quite ugly, so I gave up on that.
