Troubleshooting

Fonts Not Displaying Correctly

If you see the background image but fonts appear as default GRUB fonts (small monospace), this is usually because the font generation step failed during installation. Try these solutions:

Option 1: Re-run installation with font tools (Recommended)

Install GRUB font tools (if not already installed):

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install grub2-common

# Fedora/RHEL/CentOS
sudo dnf install grub2-tools

# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S grub

Re-run the installation script:
```
sudo ./install.sh
```
The script will now detect the font tools and generate the required font files automatically.

Option 2: Manual font regeneration If the above doesn't work, manually regenerate the font files:

Generate font files manually:

cd /usr/share/grub/themes/Sekiro
sudo grub-mkfont -s 16 -o dersu_uzala_brush_16.pf2 "Dersu Uzala brush.ttf"
sudo grub-mkfont -s 54 -o dersu_uzala_brush_54.pf2 "Dersu Uzala brush.ttf"
sudo grub-mkfont -s 60 -o dersu_uzala_brush_60.pf2 "Dersu Uzala brush.ttf"
sudo grub-mkfont -s 16 -o fira_code_16.pf2 "FiraCode-Regular.ttf"
sudo grub-mkfont -s 20 -o fira_code_20.pf2 "FiraCode-Regular.ttf"

Update GRUB configuration:

sudo update-grub
# or on some systems:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# or:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Verify font files exist:

ls -la /usr/share/grub/themes/Sekiro/*.pf2
