Description-en: TrueType version of GNU Unifont
This contains two fonts: "Unifont" and "Unifont Sample".
.
unifont.ttf is a bitmap font converted into a scalable TrueType
outline font, Unifont. Each pixel in the original bitmap font
is represented as an outlined square. The font provides a glyph
for each visible code point (character) in the Unicode Basic
Multilingual Plane (Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the
world's modern writing scripts. This font looks best at 12pt.
.
unifont_sample.ttf is an SBIT font that contains combining circles
and is therefore suitable for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs.
unifont.ttf does not contain combining circles and so is suitable
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 this font, though, is that anything meaningful
is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.
