You have the package xfonts-unifont installed correct? You also don't
have the djvu fonts, but I don't think that's affecting this issue.

If you do have the unifonts installed, you may need to run configure
with shell tracing on to see whats really going on. You can do this
like:

  sh -x ./configure

If you don't see where the issue is, xz the output and send it here.

This is the recommended OS for running the test suite.

IIRC, grub-mkfont creates unicode.pf2 and puts it in the root of the
build directory. Since grub-mkfont is not being built, this generated
file will not be created.
