Thanks for your note.

I already noticed this off by one problem, but it is not fixed in CVS.
And it is a bit different fix. In my development version of video
subsystem byte ordering for greater than width>8 is a bit different so
the actual rendering code is different.

Could you test the new rendering code if it is a correct, as it is a bit
harder for me to test foreigner glyphs :)

Here is link to latest code.

Now this rendering code reside in video/i386/pc/vbe.c
(grub_video_vbe_blit_glyph).
