The better way to deal with this is setting a larger font size fo= r the higher resolution of the display. I can't even think of any laptop = or desktop LCD's with a native resolution of 640x480. So to force it to a= lower, and thus non-native resolution, makes the problem worse. >=20 Agreed. To increase font size regenerate unicode.pf2 using grub-mkfont wi= th appropriate -s option. E.g. grub-mkfont -s 24 -o unicode.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/X11/mis/unifont.pcf.gz Put resulting file in /boot/grub/unicode_24.pf2 and add GRUB_FONT_PATH=3D/boot/grub/unicode_24.pf2 to /etc/default/grub > Chris Murphy > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel >=20 --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enig237A17BB2B8CD16685926C09 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREKAAYFAlEQtpYACgkQNak7dOguQgmnIQD+JJR3N2PlDNhCsz+f1OJ1OQzt OHrjJtc1JNQg6gl/x9sA/imXvVpUTEbA1GhFgg2yglPuwzU8fHStV7rI5rlw0BYL =nVOe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig237A17BB2B8CD16685926C09--
