Follow-up Comment #4, bug #40330 (project grub):
I am the maintainer of GNU Unifont. I just learned of this bug on Wednesday.
I hadn't even had time to look into it further (being on the road for
Thanksgiving). Today someone sent me a proposed set of changes for the BDF
file to make life easier for FreeType and also grub-mkfont. The changes are to
add these properties at a minimum to the unifont.bdf file, before converting
to PCF:
PIXEL_SIZE 16
CHARSET_REGISTRY "ISO10646"
CHARSET_ENCODING "1"
After making those additions, FreeType and grub-mkfont should be able to
convert the font properly. Apparently without those extra properties, FreeType
makes some assumptions about Unifont that are incorrect and grub-mkfont fails
as a result.
I'll be able to test this for a new release within 2 weeks, and will have the
new release ready a week after that.
