It's not _quite_ an 'XY Problem'. The OP hath declared. <grin>It may be its first cousin. There is a not explicitly stated solution constraint. In my case I wish to use default resolution of current driver/monitor combination.
I install to multiple machine/monitor permutations.My optimal solution will be of the form [*NOT* checked for syntax yet] grub-mkfont -o /boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2 -s MYSIZE /path/to/Example.ttf
