Title:
  fonts should be installed to /boot/grub

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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).
