2.1.3 Fonts
Typically, the system firmware will carry a set of fonts to cover a common character set, however there
might be times when a consumer of the setup infrastructure requires the printing of a character that the
system does not have font data for. In this case, an EFI driver will carry this font data and submit it to
the HII Database to be used later. A font can be submitted if there is not a font definition already for
that particular Unicode character.
