- unifont-bin: utilities for manipulating GNU Unifont
This is a set of Perl scripts, C programs, and FontForge scripts
to manipulate Roman Czyborra's GNU Unifont ".hex" format font
files. GNU Unifont has a Unicode-compatible font structure.
These utilities allow editing ".hex" fonts with text and
graphical editors, producing final versions of fonts in BDF,
PCF, PSF, TrueType SBIT, and TrueType outline formats.
.
To build the TrueType fonts, install the package 'fontforge'. To build
the PCF fonts, use 'bdftopcf', which is in the 'xfonts-utils' package.
To build the PSF font, use 'bdf2psf', which is in the 'console-setup'
package. To obtain the font sources, run 'apt-get source unifont'.
.
Building the main Unifont TrueType font will require at least 4 GB of
main memory. You only need texlive (~1 GB) if you want to rebuild the
unifont.pdf file in doc/ (see doc/Makefile); this is not done by default.

- xfonts-unifont: PCF (bitmap) version of GNU Unifont
This contains three fonts: "Unifont" (unifont.pcf.gz),
"Unifont CSUR" (unifont_csur.pcf. gz), and
"Unifont Sample" (unifont_sample. pcf.gz) .
.
This is a bitmap version of Unifont in a standard X11 format.
The fonts provide a glyph for each visible code point (character)
in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP, or Plane 0). The BMP
contains most of the world's modern writing scripts. These fonts
look best at 12pt.
.
unifont.pcf.gz contains Unicode Plane 0 glyphs. This is the main font.
.
unifont_sample. pcf.gz contains combining circles for combining characters.
Thus it is suited for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs, whereas
Unifont is intended for general-purpose writing.
.
unifont_csur.pcf. gz contains some scripts in the Plane 0 ConScript
Unicode Registry (CSUR). These scripts are not part of the Unicode
Standard, but are a popular use for the Private Use Area (PUA).
.
Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters change
shape depending on their position in a word, or such as Mongolian, which
can be written vertically) will not render perfectly. The philosophy
behind this font, though, is that anything meaningful is better than
an empty box for an unknown glyph.
.
Consider using the TrueType version instead (ttf-unifont), because
that version is scalable to any point size and has proper combining
character support.
