xfonts-unifont binary package in Ubuntu Xenial amd64

 This contains two fonts: "Unifont" (unifont.pcf.gz) and
 "Unifont Sample" (unifont_sample.pcf.gz).
 .
 This is a bitmap version of Unifont and Unifont Sample in a
 standard X11 format. The fonts provide a glyph for each visible
 code point (character) in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane
 (Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the world's modern writing
 scripts. These fonts look best at 12pt.
 .
 Unifont Sample contains combining circles for combining characters,
 and so is suited for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs, whereas
 Unifont is intended for general-purpose writing.
 .
 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 Unifont, though, is that anything meaningful
 is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.
 .
 Consider using the TrueType version instead (ttf-unifont), because
 that version is scalable to any point size and has proper combining
 character support.
