With memory debugging: No
With disk cache statistics: No
With boot time statistics: No
efiemu runtime: Yes

So i would say "freetype2" yes, "unifont" no.

(The system is Debian 11 amd64.)


The test log says:
  FAIL grub_func_test (exit status: 1)
In ./grub_func_test i see

  # Increase memory as some of tests are high-resolution and need a lot of 
memory.
  out=`echo all_functional_test | ./grub-shell --timeout=3600 
--files="/boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2"="./"unicode.pf2 --qemu-opts="-m $mem"`

I believe to see the grub-mkrescue invocation in tests/util/grub-shell.in

    exec_show_error "${builddir}/grub-mkrescue" "--output=${isofile}" \
        "--override-directory=${builddir}/grub-core" \
        --rom-directory="${rom_directory}" \
        --locale-directory="${srcdir}/po" \
        --themes-directory="${srcdir}/themes" \
        $mkimage_extra_arg ${mkrescue_args} \
        "/boot/grub/grub.cfg=${cfgfile}" "/boot/grub/testcase.cfg=${source}" \
        ${files} || exit $?

As proof i added a pathspec with an existing filename before ${files}:

-        ${files} || exit $?
+        /x=/home/thomas/x ${files} || exit $?

This file path then appears in the test failure message:

  Added to ISO image: file '/x'='/home/thomas/x'
  xorriso : FAILURE : Cannot determine attributes of source file 
'/home/thomas/projekte/grub_dir/grub/unicode.pf2' : No such file or directory

So i am sure that the xorriso run in grub-shell.in is the one which fails
and that the bad filename comes from ${files}.
I suspect that ${files} comes from the "--files=" argument that is given
to ./grub-shell by tests/util/grub-shell.in.


Have a nice day :)
