Re: Re: Security team plans for the squeeze cycle
Ah seems like sometimes it's a good idea to read -release through the
webarchives.

Paul you're probable not happy to hear this, but we don't use anymore
unifont.hex. Our font system has changed and now we need a BDF font for
creating the GRUB 2 fonts.
We now use unifont.bdf from the bf-utf-source package.
Feel free to discuss it with me (us) if there's a better way to get a
unifont.bdf for building, but according to packages.d.o it's still the
only package which ships it.
I think there was a discussion on -devel that BDF fonts doestn't seem to
be that wanted, but as said above currently that's the only input format
for GRUB 2 fonts.
