Looking into adding a splash screen to my grub2 menu.
Cobbled together the one below using font from my build host and it works.
Trying to build unicode.pf2 with buildroot immediately ran into snag with freetype.
Finally RTFM and realized how special the grub2 build is.
Is there a reason that grub2 is not just built as a regular host package?
