unifont 1:9.0.06-1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu zesty
This package is a convenient way to install both the PCF bitmap
version and the scalable TrueType outline version of "Unifont"
(intended for general-purpose use) and "Unifont Sample" (which contains
combining circles to use for illustration purposes). It also installs
a copy of unifont.hex and related files in /usr/share/unifont.
.
GNU Unifont was designed to render something besides an empty box
for each visible Unicode character in the Basic Multilingual Plane
(BMP, or Plane 0). The BMP contains most of the world's modern writing
scripts. This font looks best at 12pt.
.
Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters
change shape depending on their position in a word, or such as
Mongolian, which is written vertically) will not render perfectly.
The philosophy behind this font, though, is that anything meaningful
is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.
