I've tried setting in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280X1024x16
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm
rebuilt grub.cfg with
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
But it doesn't work.
How does this work?
Thanks.
Configuration of graphical boot loader with grub2 is currently a big tricky.
First you have to convert a font, for example with:
grub2-mkfont --output=/boot/grub2/unicode.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
Then, in /etc/default/grub add:
GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm
and then you run:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and reboot
Was your issue resolved? If yes, could you post the solution here.
I found a nice article on the topic:

Thanks!!! I was searching for this...
And if you put the next line, you'll get verne background image at boot (I was missing this from my old fedora 15) GRUB_BACKGROUND=/boot/verne.tga
/boot/verne.tga converted from verne.jpg
this solution from @kiilerix doesn't work for me in F16 x86_64, fonts didn't change...any ideas?
tuxdna solution works fine. You can use any .ttf.
Apparently, the GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm line is no longer required (actually it generates an error message when loading grub2).
