xfonts-unifont 1:9.0.05-1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu zesty

 This contains two fonts: "Unifont" (unifont.pcf.gz) and
 "Unifont Sample" (unifont_sample.pcf.gz).
 .
 This is a bitmap version of Unifont and Unifont Sample 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 Sample contains combining circles for combining characters,
 and so is suited for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs, whereas
 Unifont is intended for general-purpose writing.
 .
 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 Unifont, though, is that anything meaningful
 is better than an empty box for a 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.
