GNU Unifont 9.0.06 has been released and is stable. Unifont is a bitmap font in BDF and PCF formats, also rendered as a TrueType font. You can read more about it at https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/unifont/.
Those who want to use the font immediately can download these three TrueType files: - unifont-9.0.06.ttf - contains glyphs for all printable characters (code points) in the Unicode 9.0.0 Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) - unifont_upper-9.0.06.ttf - contains glyphs for many Unicode scripts above the BMP, mainly in the Supplemental Multilingual Plane (SMP); all SMP scripts that are easily represented (and a couple not so easily represented!) in a 16-by-16 pixel grid up to and including the Unicode 9.0.0 SMP are included in this release - unifont_csur-9.0.06.ttf - contains glyphs from the ConScript Unicode Regsitry (CSUR); these are not a part of the official Unicode specification, but are one popular mapping for the Unicode Private Use Area. Files can be downloaded at: - http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/unifont/unifont-9.0.06 (which will automatically redirect to a mirror site), or at - ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-9.0.06/ The major changes in this release include revised upper- and lower-case Cherokee glyphs, and revised Pikto CSUR glyphs. The Pikto glyphs can be considered stable at this point. A full list of changes appears in the ChangeLog file in the main tarball, unifont-9.0.06.tar.gz. The Unifont tarball also contains tools for manipulating these font files. Enjoy!
