Multiple font files will now be installed - http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/grub/trunk/grub/annotate/4343/Makefile.am#L72 . It will however only install non-bold fonts. The theme also uses some bold fonts - http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/grub/trunk/grub/annotate/4343/themes/starfield/theme.txt#L51 .

The build system will create dejavu.pf2 with no special mkfont options and it will thus be 16 point only. The starfield theme do however use other fonts.

As a work around I used something like

rm dejavu.pf2
grub-mkfont -o DejaVuSans-10.pf2 -s 10 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf # "DejaVu Sans Regular 10"
grub-mkfont -o DejaVuSans-12.pf2 -s 12 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf # "DejaVu Sans Regular 12"
grub-mkfont -o DejaVuSans-Bold-14.pf2 -s 14 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf # "DejaVu Sans Bold 14"

- but the theme installation is very hardcoded in the build system.

Slightly related:
It would be nice if mkfont showed exactly which "font name" it created.
It would be nice if mkfont didn't create empty pf2 files when no font source is specified.
