Bug#850490: grub-common: Some chinese chars can't be displayed with the included unicode.pf2

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.02~beta3-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Some chars such as "载" int the following grub.cfg file can't be displayed
with the font file /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2.
I download the stable version grub-common_2.02-beta2-22+deb8u1_amd64 and
use the font file included in it, that char can be displayed correctly.

I install ttf-unifont package, and use `grub-mkfont -o unicode.pf2 <path to unifont.ttf>`,
and use the result font file, the char is displayed, but there are some problems
with the font size as there's "underline" got displayed between lines.

The file size in current version is 1363163, while that is 2400500 in the stable version.
So I guess the current version doesn't contain all the unicode chars.

Just use the stable version is an acceptable solution for me,
though it may be better to regenerate one use the most recent version of unifont.

Thanks
