order of /etc/grub.d scripts overriding font settings

Yes, you can comment out the line.
Chmod should work too (I'm wondering why it doesn't work on your system).
or use the grub customizer way: remove the "(script code)" placeholder of 10_mint_theme

If it doesn't work, I'll take a look at it.

Thanks Dan. Works fine, now; just chmoded the script.

Also, have been reading the grub2 doc on GNU and apparently its a mute point to add a variety of fonts? see:
-----------------------------------------------
6.2.2 Fonts
The fonts GRUB uses “PFF2 font format” bitmap fonts. Fonts are specified with full font
names. Currently there is no provision for a preference list of fonts, or deriving one font
from another. Fonts are loaded with the “loadfont” command in GRUB. To see the list of
loaded fonts, execute the “lsfonts” command. If there are too many fonts to fit on screen,
do “set pager=1” before executing “lsfonts”.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At any rate, I can't get the fonts to work correctly; I can get SANS 14 but there are spaces btwn letters and of course, the box is hosed. So I just turned off fonts altogether so that its using the /boot/grub/<whatever>.pf2 file. I realize this isn't nec a grub-customizer problem....

Altho, how did you get it to display a nice splash and nice fonts in your lovely screenshots?? (Overview section)

Here's the final grub.cfg (AND my default/grub, down further) after using grub-customizer (just the 00 and 05_debian sections to show font and resolution). as you can see its prob getting the /boot/grub/unicode.pf2 from /etc/default/grub. I'm wondering if I go into defaut/grub and hardcode a font if that would work, but grub-customizer *should* be re-setting the GRUB_FONT variable, correct?? Its picking up the new resolution just fine and modifying default/grub, but it won't touch the fonts as you can see because of that silly "if" statement?:

if loadfont /boot/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then
  set gfxmode=1920x1080x24
  load_video
  insmod gfxterm
  set locale_dir=$prefix/locale
  set lang=en_US
  insmod gettext
fi
terminal_output gfxterm
if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ]; then
  set timeout=-1
else
  set timeout=10
fi
### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ###

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,msdos1'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then

  set color_highlight=brown/black

  set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue
  set menu_color_highlight=white/blue

Okay, Dan; I think I figured out the problem with the fonts. They basically work fine, and you can get the decent box and arrow keys instructions at the bottom *IF* you do not use the "bold" when selecting your font using grub-customizer. Don't mess with the scripts by hand to fix the fonts.

If you leave it at "regular" (in whatever you choose, like DejaVu Sans (I think that's the name), then it turns out fine.

So just don't use bold....

Also, you need to view ALL of the Screenshots--in order-- under the Overview section to change the general settings screen as shown.

Yes, the font style (bold etc) is a doesn't work correctly. The font isn't formatted correctly when trying to find the font file using fc-match. I fixed it in version 4.0 which will be released soon.
