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.From https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/gfxmode.html The default is ‘auto’, which selects a platform-specific default that should look reasonable. I wonder if your "default" is the same as GRUB's "default". Also, whatever default resolution you get will affect the perceived font size, no matter what font face is used.
Interesting problem set. I've some glimmerings. Working on a 'formal' definition of the problem set.
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.ttfDo you really want to overwrite the system's unicode.pf2?
I my specific use case, I think so. It illustrates why I do not consider my original post to not quite be a 'XY Problem'. I'm working on optimizing Debian install to match some personal ideas on the optimal "look and feel" of a *nix system. Carried to its logical conclusion, what I'm working towards would be near dividing line between a "Debian Pure Blend" and a "Debian Derivative".
