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
