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.
