Text blurry with any font size and native resolution
See original GitHub issueI’ve been testing matter for the last couple of hours, however, I noticed that text in GRUB is completely blurry. Interestingly, the icons are perfectly sharp.
I’ve tried changing and forcing GRUB’s resolution, playing with different font sizes, using different fonts and even adding every option possible to grub-mkfont!
For reference (taken from QEMU, tho it also happens irl):
This is with GRUB version 2.04-1ubuntu26 running over Pop!_OS, freshly installed. I’m using matter from master, and installed all the requirements directly from Ubuntu’s repositories.

This is a known issue at the time, if you check the examples from the readme you can see the problem there as well. Grub seems to display the font bitmaps generated from
grub-mkfontat a not-so-good pixel ratio, I’ll look around a tad more for a solution and let you know if I find something.Just to give this a follow up, some days ago I posted this question to the grub help mailing list. Unfortunately it had no answers.
