Description: font with a glyph for each visible Unicode Plane 0 character
This package is a convenient way to install the PCF bitmap version,
PSF 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
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.

Description: 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.

Description: TrueType version of GNU Unifont
This contains four fonts: "Unifont", "Unifont Upper", "Unifont CSUR",
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 (BMP, or Plane 0). The BMP contains most of
the world's modern writing scripts. This font looks best at 12pt.
.
unifont_upper.ttf is a bitmap font converted into a scalable TrueType
outline font that covers Unicode ranges above Plane 0. Most of its
glyphs are in Plane 1, the Unicode Supplemental Multilingual Plane (SMP).
.
unifont_csur.ttf is a bitmap font converted into a scalable TrueType
outline font that contains some scripts in the ConScript Unicode
Registry (CSUR). These scripts are not part of the Unicode Standard,
but are a popular use for the Private Use Area (PUA). This font
contains glyphs in Plane 0 and in the higher PUA planes.
.
unifont_sample.ttf is an SBIT font that contains combining circles
and is therefore suitable for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs.
The other font files do not contain combining circles and so are 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
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.
Package: psf-unifont

Suggests: fonts-unifont
Description: PSF (console) version of GNU Unifont with APL support
This contains a PSF font (Unifont-APL8x16.psf) as a console frame
buffer font with a subset of Unifont for use with GNU APL and other
APL implementations. The font is installed in "/usr/share/consolefonts/".
This PSF font is only suitable for running in console mode, not under the
X Window System.
.
A PSF font allows a maximum of 512 glyphs. The glyph subset in this
font includes ASCII, Latin-1, "oe" and "OE" ligatures for French, the
Euro sign, Unicode Box Drawing, Unicode Block Elements, plus various
glyphs for APL support and some other miscellaneous glyphs. The font
is monospaced, 8 pixels wide by 16 pixels tall.
.
Consider using the TrueType version instead (ttf-unifont) if you are
not running in console mode, because that version is scalable to any
point size and has proper combining character support.

Description: 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.
