| ttf-unifont | TrueType version of the GNU Unifont | Mehr ... |
This is a bitmap font converted into a scalable TrueType outline
font. 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.
.
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. |
| unifont | font with a glyph for each visible Unicode 5.1 Plane 0 character | Mehr ... |
This package is a convenient way to install both the PCF bitmap
version and the scalable TrueType outline version of GNU Unifont.
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
(Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the world's modern writing scripts.
This font looks best at 12pt.

| unifont-bin | utilities for manipulating the GNU Unifont | Mehr ... |
This is a set of Perl scripts, C programs, and FontForge scripts
to manipulate Roman Czyborra's GNU Unifont ".hex" format font
files. The 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, 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 obtain the font sources, run
'apt-get source unifont'. |
| xfonts-unifont | PCF (bitmap) version of the GNU Unifont | Mehr ... |
This is a bitmap font in a standard X11 format. 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.
.
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.

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. |
