unifont 1:5.1.20080914-1build1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu lucid

 This package is a convenient way to install both the PCF bitmap
 version and the scalable TrueType outline version of GNU Unifont.
 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
 (Plane 0). Plane 0 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 is written vertically) will not render perfectly.
 The philosophy behind this font, though, is that anything meaningful
 is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.
