Hi every body

It happens that Grub uses some files which are not located into the grub directory, as in the command
if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ;
which is to be found in the 00_header section.

To my opinion, Grub has to be independant of anything else. The file tree used when generating the grub.cfg file may be quite different than the one to be used when booting. So /usr/.../unicode.pf2 may be quite meaningless at boot time.

If some system files are to be used by Grub, grub-mkconfig has to copy those files into the grub directory, and no reference outside of this directory should be allowed.

Best regards

Arbiel
