Re: grub-mkfont generate errors when converting truetype fonts

[Towheed Mohammed]

But as you can see from the verbose output, because of these warnings, it 
produces only 95 glyphs as opposed to the expected 128.  As for the quality, it 
is much lower than the fonts produced by earlier versions.

It's not errors. Just warnings that the resulting pf2 will be of lesser quality

The earlier versions just ignored the features altogether. Newer report them 
but it's *warnings*, not errors.
