Operating system: OpenSUSE 15.6, upgraded from 15.5
I am creating a custom
grub theme in which I want to use a font with a larger size than the default (I'm on a 3840x2160 screen). I followed the instructions of using custom fonts, but the font doesn't show up. Other aspects of the theme (colors, including font color) do work, so I know I'm editing the right theme file and compiling correctly.
I have used grub2-mkfont to create the .pf2 files, and put those files in the theme directory. I can see the loadfont statements in the compiled grub.cfg file for all the font files in the theme directory. I checked the font name with the --verbose parameter to grub2-mkfont and made sure I used that name in the theme file.
How do I debug from here? I'm figuring that either the font files I generated are somehow invalid, or the font loading is not getting triggered, or the font name doesn't match up somehow, but no clue how to figure out what.
