UnifontEX

(Evil Xylophone)

Unicode 16 support now live.

An extended fork of GNU Unifont with a focus on high compatibility (and accessibility too, among other things), made from the last TrueType version of GNU Unifont (15.0.06-JP, which is the most comprehensive, plus the five Unicode 15.1 Ideographic Description Characters from Unifont 15.1.01-15.1.05), merged with the last version of Upper that will successfully merge after removing the placeholders (11.0.01 Upper). I then did several compatibility steps to make it work under more environments, such as taking SEVERAL measures to make the font work in environments that only want monospace fonts (which Unifont is closer to than something like Times New Roman), as well as fixing the TeX table (among other structures, including stuff like the Panose and OS/2 stuff, among other things), activating Vertical Metrics to make Inkscape not reject it when dealing with Vertical CJKV text (the VDMX table and the BASE table's vertical section also help), and making the output TTF work best on ALL OS choices. I also used TTF2PNG by Data Beaver's Domain (plus GIMP to make it true 1bpp) to make an unabridged 1 megabyte PNG of the font, for use in situations where TrueType wouldn't make sense, as well as a BDF version also made by FontForge, and a PC-98 font BMP port of UnifontEX made by Neko Project 2 (the Wii port) from the TrueType. (This is for PC-98 emulators that expect ANEX86.BMP), as well as an Apple iOS Safari SVG webfont format version, plus WOFF and WOFF2 versions which are MUCH smaller, as well as the FontForge SFD version (the actual project file). I also added an EOT and a Proof-of-Concept SVGZ version, as well as a Mac DFONT and an X11 otb version for those using relatively-ancient Unix-like OSes. I've also made a special version derived from the TTF ran through BWTC32Key, renamed to have a .woff3 extension (you can also use .woffl3 to honor a Twitter joke). Apparently, BWTC32Key's compression significantly beats DEFLATE and Brotli here, as well as in quite a few other cases. BWTC32Key being web-based (in JavaScript, NodeJS too) least until someone ports it) allows it to be decoded in browsers, so technically WOFF3 COULD be decoded by a browser. But yes, WOFF3 is literally a TTF/OTF inside a .B3K file with a .WOFF3 or .WOFFl3 extension. I'd even allow TTCs and OTCs to be inside that. For the WOFF-exclusive stuff like XML metadata and arbitrary data, I'd allow use of a TAR file rather than the font directly. I would likely need some form of convention regarding the contents (for a whole host of reasons), so for the moment I'm going simple. Oh and the 3 in .woff3 and .woffl3 is an intentional reference to the 3 in .B3K, and it being a third WOFF version (and no, WOFF3 is not the only planned format I've derived from retrofitting BWTC32Key into various things). It just needs decoding code written. I've also provided UCGLIB and U8G2 versions for Arduinos to use with compatible dot-matrix LCDs/OLEDs/VFDs, though at present the best Arduino to run it on is the Arduino Pro Portenta H7, which luckily is compatible with both.

I've also made binary and C builds for the LVGL embedded display library, so now you can use it on even more embedded displays, and I've also made .js and .json versions for Typeface.js, plus FONTX2 Kanji and non-Kanji versions for DOS/V, as well as a C++ Uint8t file version that evidently some programs use, as well as an Adafruit_GFX version.

I also made a PostScript Type42 (PostScript-encapsulated TrueType) build for old classy printers as well as a LibreCAD LFF version (which should be given a lowercase filename for older LibreCAD versions), plus an iOS Mobileconfig version.

Furthermore, I offer two XDelta patches (they use the newest XDelta. If you try to use Marcrobledo's patcher for example, it will complain about no secondary decompressor) that turn Unifont-JP 15.0.06 into UnifontEX. One is for the TTF, one is for the BDF.

Basically, I've released builds for MANY formats, from the common (TrueType, which is no longer offered openly by upstream Unifont), to the most niche/obscure ones, of which BDF is the only one also offered by upstream Unifont. Stuff like the DFONT, BDF, OTB, WOFF1, EOT, and SVG versions are largely for legacy systems, because not everyone has the latest and greatest technology, and good Unicode support shouldn't be pricey.
