Rationale

The XOrg 11 and KWin Wayland compositors are able to scale their outputs using 1:1 (integer — an example is 100%) and non-integer (125%) scales. However, I see no information online about how to scale GRUB.

Instead, all I see are examples of workarounds utilizing the GRUB_GFXMODE="$RESOLUTION" variable to input a lower resolution value than its output device is capable of.

Question

Consequently, can GRUB2's output be scaled? If so, how (I presume that the relevant variable is undocumented)? If not, why not (I presume that the functionality is merely absent)?

Duplicates

I have asked for information specific to my OS/distribution (Fedora) at discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/138655. However, because reddit.com/r/EndeavourOS/comments/ysx08r hasn't yet been answered, I'm not expecting any useful responses there.

SE is my last port of call.

    @RokeJulianLockhart all of the graphics are text character based ... changing the font size might affect the borders also Commented Nov 30, 2024 at 3:31

    the GRUB uses a text window, so I guess that the box-drawing character set is used ... run a test to confirm ... please post an answer if the result is a success ...en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_characters Commented Nov 30, 2024 at 16:36
