Dear Maintainer,

I am having trouble reading the grub menu on my Surface Tablet 2-in-1 at boot
time. While changing font size and type is easy with grub-mkfont, it requires a
complex process to sign the new font to enable it in Secure Boot. It would be
very helpful to get a larger font already signed for high resolution screens
(which are very common these days) or provide the current font with sizes up to
32, so a simple line in /etc/default/grub can solve the problem.


P.S.: I wasn't sure if this bug priority could be set to wishlist, but since it
prevents Debian users with poor vision from fully enjoying their system at
boot, I left it on normal.
