[Bug 615769] Re: fonts should be installed to /boot/grub

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

If you do:

    $ sudo apt-get --install --reinstall grub2
    $ sudo update-grub

The fonts would actually be copied into /boot/grub

How did you install your system?

   * ubiquity (Desktop Live CD)
   * debian-installer (alternate, server, pxe boot) ?

** Also affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)

Title:
  fonts should be installed to /boot/grub

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  fonts for GRUB 2 are installed to /usr/share/

  if / is not readable for grub (i.e. because / is a btrfs filesystem),
  GRUB can only use fonts in a separate /boot partition

  I stumbled over this when I tried to set a GRUB background image on a
  btrfs system. It didn't work because GRUB started in text mode. And it
  took me a while to find out why (because it could not find a font
  file).
