How to: Create a Customized GRUB2 Screen that is Maintenance Free.

[Cavsfan]

OK, so I finally had to reboot my computer, and the font is HUGE! I know it's set at 24 in your instructions, but is that based on a high resolution? I need to go in and see what I can set mine to, and maybe that will help... but right now the menu is just a small rectangle, and I can't see ANY options! I'll try the resolution fix first, but then if I have to resize the font, do I need to delete it first, or will the new font size change overwrite it?

I have a 28" monitor and when I sent it in to be fixed I used a 17" monitor in the mean time.
I had the same problem but, rather than change the font size I changed the resolution in grub.
Enter gksu gedit /etc/default/grub in terminal and set this up

GRUB_GFXMODE=1366x768-24 (24 is color bit depth)

In my grub file I have this:

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#backup monitor size
#GRUB_GFXMODE=1366x768-24
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1200-24

I added the 1366x768-24 when I was using the 17" monitor and commented it out when I got my big monitor back.
I left it commented out in case I ever have to use the 17' monitor again.
I hope this helps.

Although I don't think you need to change the font size I thought I mention what I have found about grub2 font size:
The size doesn't conform to dpi it is more of a point size. See this link:
