It's not _quite_ an 'XY Problem'. The OP hath declared. <grin>
It may be its first cousin. There is a not explicitly stated 
solution constraint.
In my case I wish to use default resolution of current 
driver/monitor combination.
I install to multiple machine/monitor permutations.
My optimal solution will be of the form [*NOT* checked for syntax 
yet]
   grub-mkfont -o /boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2  -s MYSIZE 
/path/to/Example.ttf
