The unicode consortium is very careful to make sure that thousands of symbols have a unique code point (that's great !) but how do these thousands of symbols actually get displayed if there is no font consortium? Are there collections of 'standard' fonts for unicode that I am not aware?
There are some well-known fonts that try to cover a large section of the Unicode standard.

Is there a unix linux package that can be installed that drops at least 'one' default standard font that will be able to render all or 'most' (whatever I mean by that) code points in unicode? Is this a Python issue at all?
