Specialized versions — built by request:

SBIT: Special version at the request of the FontForge community showing dashed combining circles (as in the Unicode code charts) and including four-digit hexadecimal glyphs for the PUA, as a reference for designing other fonts; this is an SBIT font, not an outline font: unifont_sample- 9.0.01.ttf (1 Mbyte) PSF: A highly specialized console frame buffer font consisting of 512 glyphs for use with APL, A Programming Language, in console mode: Unifont-APL8x16-9.0.01.psf.gz (4 kbytes) HEX: All the Plane 0 glyphs in Roman's .hex format, for those who wish to experiment: unifont-9.0.01.hex.gz (1 Mbyte) HEX: The above .hex file with combining circles added: unifont_sample-9.0.01.hex.gz (1 Mbyte)

On Windows or Mac X, unzip the .ttf.zip file or download the uncompressed .ttf file and copy the font to your Fonts folder. On Microsoft Windows, this folder is located under the Windows folder on your main disk. On a Mac, this is located under the Library folder on your main disk.

For best appearance on a Mac in a window, select Terminal from the menu, then Preferences. A Settings window will appear. Make sure that you're on the Text tab in that window. Then make sure that the "Antialias text" box is checked. The TrueType version of the font should then look fine at point sizes of 12pt and larger. The font won' look very legible in a Mac Terminal window unless you select this antialias option.

All unifont.hex sources are in the full Unicode Utilities download.

Unifont 9.0

02 July 2016 Release (Unifont 9.0.01): This is the first release for Unicode 9.0.0, which The formally released on 21 June 2016. In addition to complete Basic Multilingual Plane coverage, this release includes all scripts that can easily be drawn in a 16-by-16 grid in the Supplemental Multilingual Plane as of Unicode 9.0. This SMP coverage is a major milestone for Unifont. Johnnie Weaver has contributed many Supplemental Multilingual Plane glyphs, allowing completion of all SMP scripts that are easily drawn in a 16-by-16 pixel grid:: U+0104B0..U+0104FF Osage U+011280..U+0112AF Multani U+0112B0..U+0112FF Khudawadi U+011600..U+01165F Modi U+011700..U+01173F Ahom U+0118A0..U+0118FF U+011AC0..U+011AFF U+011C00..U+011C6F Bhaiksuki U+011C70..U+011CBF Marchen U+016A40..U+016A6F Mro U+016AD0..U+016AFF Bassa Vah U+01E000..U+01E02F Glagolitic Supplement U+01E900..U+01E95F Adlam Terence Eden contributed the new power symbols in the range U+23FB..U+23FE. Terence proposed adding those glyphs to Unicode, and got them adopted in the Unicode 9.0.0 release. Paul Hardy drew the rest of the glyphs added to this release. This included a complete redrawing of the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (U+1400..U+167F) and the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended (U+18B0..U+18FF) scripts. This also included rotating the Mongolian and Phags Pa scripts, as per changes of The Unicode Consortium in changing their default representation from vertical writing to horizontal writing. Paul added these scripts: U+1C80..U+1C8F Cyrillic Extended- U+011300..U+01137F Grantha U+011400..U+01147F Newa U+011480..U+0114DF Tirhuta U+011660..U+01167F Mongolian Supplement U+016FE0..U+016FFF Ideographic Symbols and U+01BC00..U+01BC9F Duployan U+01E800..U+01E8DF Mende Kikakui U+01F900..U+01F9FF Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs Michael Walden drew my attention (pun intended) to a multitude of glyph issues, which I have addressed in this release. A comprehensive list of glyphs altered from his suggestions appear in the ChangeLog file in the main tarball.

Contributing Glyphs

If you would like to contribute glyphs to the GNU Unifont effort, you can download the associated PNG file from the tables above (SMP and CSUR need additions). Then draw new glyphs in the 16-by-16 pixel area that is inside the inner box you see in the image on the left.

When done, erase the surrounding inner box and ruler lines around the inner box. You can then convert the .png file into a .hex file with the unipng2hex Perl in the source tarball. Or you can just email the .png file to me as a contribution to this effort and I will do the conversion.

Q: Why is the outer grid so much larger than the 16-by-16 pixel inner box?

A: Because in a future version, unipng2hex, unihex2png, and other utilities should be able to handle larger glyphs.

I have dusted off the unipagecount program and modified it to look at any Unicode plane, from 0 to 16. I used it in 2008 only for Plane 0, before that plane was complete. The table below shows the current state of completion of the Supplemental Multilingual Plane (Plane 1). Any range in the table that doesn't have a green background has glyphs that need to be drawn. To see which scripts are in a particular range, consult the "Supplemental Multilingual Plane" list in the Current Coverage section below. The more red a range appears in the table below, the more glyphs are missing from that range.

Initially I just posted my additions to Roman Czyborra's original unifont.hex file. Then in mid-January 2008, his website went down. So I started posting font updates here. Roman has encouraged me to continue with my additions.

Roman's website is now back online, and you can read his Unifont description and motivation for its creation on his website, along with his archive of Unifont's changes: http://czyborra.com/unifont.

TRUETYPE FONT GENERATION

Luis Alejandro González Miranda wrote a cool combination of scripts to convert GNU Unifont from .hex format into FontForge .sfd format, then to have FontForge convert this to a TrueType outline font (see the Unicode Utilities web page on this site for more information). Pixels are drawn as outlined squares, so they scale to all point sizes. This works well with GNOME; I haven't tried it with any other Unix windowing environment. I've removed the OpenType SBIT font link from this page because the outline font is much more flexible.

Luis has given me permission to modify his scripts to convert the latest GNU Unifont versions to TrueType. I've modified his original scripts to handle Unicode combining characters.

WEN QUAN YI: SPRING OF LETTERS ( / )

The original Unifont CJK glyphs were replaced by new CJK glyphs from version 1.1 of Qianqian Fang's Unibit font. The Unibit font began as a combination of the original GNU Unifont glyphs and a basic CJK bitmap font placed in the public domain by the People's Republic of China. It adopted GNU Unifont's scheme of 8x16 and 16x16 glyphs. Qianqian Fang and many others then added about 10,000 more glyphs.

Qianqian states in the Unibit distribution: "The entire CJK Unified Ideographics (U4E00-U9FA5) and CJK Unified Ideographics Extension A(U3400- U4DB5) blocks were replaced by high-quality glyphs from China National Standard GB19966-2005 (public domain)." Qianqian also drew the new 22 CJK ideographs in the range U+9FA6..U+9FBB that appear in GNU Unifont.

Wen Quan Yi (WQY) means "spring of letters," as in a spring of water. This is an interesting choice of words, as the British spelling of "font" is "fount" (but still pronounced "font"). See his website for more details: http://wqy.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/enindex.cgi.

The following code points in the latest unifont.hex file are taken from the WQY Unibit font (with my additions to complete the U+3000..U+33FF range, particularly the missing Hiragana, Katakana, and ):

U+2E80..U+2EFF: CJK Radicals Supplement U+2F00..U+2FDF: Kangxi Radicals U+2FF0..U+2FFF: Ideographic Description Characters U+3000..U+303F: CJK Symbols and Punctuation U+31C0..U+31EF: CJK Strokes U+3200..U+32FF: Enclosed CJK Letters and Months U+3300..U+33FF: CJK Compatibility U+3400..U+4DBF: CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A U+4E00..U+9FBF: CJK Unified Ideographs U+F900..U+FAFF: CJK Compatibility Ideographs U+FF00..U+FF60: Fullwidth Forms of Roman Letters

Qianqian has given his okay to add these CJK glyphs into GNU Unifont. Likewise, I've told him to incorporate any glyphs he wants from my contributions to GNU Unifont into his Unibit font.

WHAT'S NEXT?

All of the glyphs in the Supplemental Multilingual Plane that could easily be drawn in a 16-by-16 pixel grid have been drawn as of the Unifont 9.0.01 release. There are no plans to draw Tangut. A number of ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) scripts remain to be drawn. If you are interested in contributing glyphs to this effort, please contact me. All new contributions must be licensed under the same license as the rest of Unifont (in a nutshell, GPL 2+ with the GNU font embedding exception).

With the great work done by contributors in providing ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) glyphs, they are available in font files that have "_csur" in their name. Providing these fonts as alternates now requires creating four separate TrueType fonts. Given the resulting size of the current tarball, I have decided not to add a MUFI variant. works nicely for Medieval scholars, and is an outline font.
