grub on UEFI includes the unicode font in the signed image and does not
load external fonts anymore, so this would only affect BIOS boot.

Title:
  netboot tarball missing grub/fonts/unicode.pf2?

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm in the process of updating
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot/PXE-IPv6 and one of the files
  mentioned there that is useful to publish to your netboot root
  directory is /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 to provide an experience
  matching that you get when booting from a local device.

  Maybe we should include this font file in the netboot tarball we now
  provide?  (and include a grub.cfg that loads it?)

  I checked and it doesn't appear to be part of the signed grub efi
  image.
