One last question Felix, I hope.  I think it will be, I just want this 
last part to work.  I have the bf-utf-source package which appears to 
only copy two .bdf files to /usr/src and nothing else.  Can I safely 
assume then that I can extract the contents out and manually copy them 
to /usr/src and grub2 will be happy?

Except of course doing the above configure for grub-mkfont, I need do 
nothing else except provide the unifont.bdf?  If that is the case, then 
I'll just add these to my Zenwalk package for grub2, so it will be 
complete and ready for images?

Thanks again,
Pat
