The fonts needed for gfxterm live in /usr/share/grub.
We copy unicode.pf2 to /boot/grub in the postinst in case /usr isn't
accessible by GRUB but the ones in /usr are prefered.
As a workaround you can set `GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub/unicode.pf2'
in /etc/default/grub

It has problable more something to do with the LVM metadata on your
