== Changing GRUB Font Size ==


The Acer Spin 3 SP313-51N series laptops have a very nice 13.3" WQXGA (2560 x 1600) 16:10 IPS Touchscreen. That high resolution on a 13 inch screen makes the default GRUB menu extremely difficult to read. I had to use a magnifying glass to read it. Changing the display to 1920 x 1200 does not help until display drivers are loaded during boot. The only option to fix the tiny GRUB display is to change the font size that GRUB uses.


== How to change the GRUB Font Size ==

1. Open App Menu → Settings → ‘’’GRUB Customizer’’’

2. Enter your ‘’root password’’

3. Click the ‘’’Appearance Settings’’’ tab

4. Use the Font Selection menu on the sidebar to pick a font that you like. I used ‘’’Noto Sans Mono Bold’’’

5. Select the font size. I used 24 points

6. Save your changes

7. Close '''GRUB Customizer''' and ''Reboot'' to see your changes.

If you do not like the result, repeat the above steps and try a different font or size. It is best to adjust the font size in small increments. I started with 16, then tried 20 before settling on 24.
