Cannot change fonts in grub menu

General system Applications

This actually did the trick. It is not sufficient to remove the font definitions from theme.txt and to add GRUB_FONT to /detc/default/grub.

I had to add the font to theme.txt

/boot/grub/themes/EndeavourOS/theme.txt 
# cat theme.txt                              
# GRUB2 gfxmenu Linux EndeavourOS theme
# Designed for any resolution

# Global Property
title-text: ""
desktop-image: "background.png"
desktop-color: "#000000"
terminal-font: "Hack Regular 24"
terminal-box: "terminal_box_*.png"
terminal-left: "0"
terminal-top: "0"
terminal-width: "100%"
terminal-height: "100%"
terminal-border: "0"

# Show the boot menu
+ boot_menu {
  left = 10%
  top = 10%
  width = 80%
  height = 80%
  item_font = "Hack Regular 24"
  item_color = "#cccccc"
  selected_item_color = "#ffffff"
  item_height = 24
  item_spacing = 16
  selected_item_pixmap_style = "select_*.png"
}

# Show a countdown message using the label component
+ label {
  top = 82%
  left = 35%
  width = 30%
  align = "center"
  id = "__timeout__"
  text = "Booting in %d seconds"
  color = "#cccccc"
  font = "Hack Regular 24"
}

Thanks for helping!
