I don't expect users to write poems in grub and so such reduced font would be well-suited for applications when size matters (e.g. embedding grub2 into flash rom) Another question: are glyphs imported into unifont from ttf fonts are vector-based? And also I would like to thank you and Michal that you answered most of the questions I had about Chinese support even without me asking them :) > [1] http://www.jiyili.net/thread-27521-1-1.html (based on a national > survey in 1980s) > >> Thanks >> >> Michal >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Grub-devel mailing list >> Grub-devel@gnu.org >> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel >> >> =20 > > > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel > --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enig5D0B4A717D2B72ED61FE3630 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iF4EAREKAAYFAksSn+wACgkQNak7dOguQgnXagD/Z9mBjkXcFjMwkARHKYvlix/Z OxQ27muVXR5/HklQwMUBAKBYSjdels/g+z0gRwilhY/aPAaSNKShDlL/zaDI5iGJ =vKf3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig5D0B4A717D2B72ED61FE3630--
