Laptop: Ideapad Slim 7i Pro
Distro: Arch (latest version)

Dual-booting W11.
I was having issues with small font size for GRUB due to hidpi. I tried to edit the font size in GRUB /etc/default/grub file using the following command in the Arch Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI#GRUB).
I added the GRUB_FONT="/boot/grubfont.pf2" text towards the top of the `/etc/default/grub` file.
I also deleted `fbcon=font:TER16x32` from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in the same file, as it hadn't made a noticeable difference in font size.
I then ran `sudo update-grub` but nothing happened, even after rebooting. So I ran `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`. Now when I boot Linux, nothing happens after I choose to boot Arch Linux. Not sure how to fix this.

# grub-mkfont -s 30 -o /boot/grubfont.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/FontFamily/FontName.ttf
Note: Change the -s 30 parameter to modify the font size
Edit /etc/default/grub to set the new font as shown in GRUB/Tips and tricks#Background image and bitmap fonts:
GRUB_FONT="/boot/grubfont.pf2"
I added the GRUB_FONT="/boot/grubfont.pf2" text towards the top of the `/etc/default/grub` file.
