Making grub boot text larger on bazzite

Figured out how to make grub boot text larger with Framework 13! Doesn’t change small text beforehand, but i think at that point that’s laptop firmware…

This is on latest Bazzite (Dec 2025) on Framework 13 Ryzen AI 300

  1. Find mono font you like in /usr/share/fonts/ (i’ve picked .ttf)
  2. I had to create fonts folder with sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/fonts
  3. Create large font from it sudo grub2-mkfont -s SIZE -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/fonts/large.pf2 FONT (SIZE i’ve used 48, but you can try other sizes like 36 or 52, FONT is path to picked font)
  4. Edit /etc/default/grub and add:

GRUB_FONT=/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/fonts/large.pf2

GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=“gfxterm”

Finally, regenerate with sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
