GNU Unifont 9.0.02 has been released and is stable. Unifont is a bitmap font in BDF and PCF formats, also rendered as a TrueType font. You can read more about it at https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/unifont/.
Those who want to use the font immediately can download these three TrueType files: - unifont-9.0.02.ttf - contains glyphs for all printable characters (code points) in the Unicode 9.0.0 Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) - unifont_upper-9.0.02.ttf - contains glyphs for many Unicode scripts above the BMP, mainly in the Supplemental Multilingual Plane (SMP); all SMP scripts that are easily represented (and a couple not so easily represented!) in a 16-by-16 pixel grid up to and including the Unicode 9.0.0 SMP are included in this release - unifont_csur-9.0.02.ttf - contains glyphs from the ConScript Unicode Regsitry (CSUR); these are not a part of the official Unicode specification, but are one popular mapping for the Unicode Private Use Area. Files can be downloaded at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-9.0.02/ or at http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/unifont/unifont-9.0.02 (which will automatically redirect to a mirror site). The major changes in this release include a slashed zero to benefit programmers after multiple requests, removing the Unicode BMP glyphs from the CSUR TrueType file (which reduces the size of the full uncompressed distribution by about 14 Megabytes), combining the former lower- and upper-CSUR fonts into one file, and adding 3 more CSUR scripts. A full list of changes appears in the ChangeLog file in the main tarball, unifont-9.0.02.tar.gz. The Unifont tarball also contains tools for manipulating these font files.
