at menu list...press C for command mode
vbeinfo and videoinfo on my machine gives me a big list of resolutions etc
lsfonts output is
loaded fonts:
Unifont Regular 16
Now set a scroll pager by....then lsmod and page down to check if font is showing
set pager=1
lsmod # for me font shows dep of bufio and video and is on first page
# press escape to quit scroll function
Now there is something wrong with your font. Either we need more commands, or your font files are corrupt or missing.
I do not use TC grub, where are your font files?
at command mode....when you know pathway ....adjust the next command and see if any error occurs
(if you get a normal prompt you have succeeded)
loadfont /boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2
In above command, the TAB key can be used to show a range of options
eg loadfont /b (gives options of bin and boot --remember I am using a debian boot loader)
file /pathway2/font not found is not good
on TC64 we have
http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86_64/tcz/grub2-multi.tcz.listoriginal pathway /usr/local/share/grub/unicode.pf2
This file needs to be somewhere either
/boot/fonts/unicode.pf2
/boot/grub//fonts/unicode.pf2 or
/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2
or it might be OK without a fonts dir?
2) It might be better if you post the full contents of your grub.cfg please
