In the summary Reproducible: Always Will easily build grub-mkfont utility if --enable-grub-mkfont parameter is included in src_compile() econf section.
Created attachment 195039 [details, diff] grub-9999_gfxterm-unifont.diff it also would be nice to provide unifont.pf2, since media-fonts/unifont present in portage. here is an example diff with dependency on media-fonts/unifont, new 'debug' flag and unifont.pf2 generation code note that with unifont.pf2 presence grub-mkconfig will enable gfxterm automatically
ive added the additional configure flags and USE=debug, thanks http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-boot/grub/grub-9999.ebuild?r1=1.9&r2=1.10
