Very interesting. I didn't realize Unicode was a "large font", though... I thought it was a character encoding system, distinct from fonts, due to the character/glyph model.... :)
Another complaint:
Some purist will try to kill you for calling Unicode "a big, giant font ..."
I was asked how I describe it briefly to laymen. And I usually say "Unicode is like a big, giant font that is supposed to contain all the letters of all the alphabets of all the languages in the world."
