character in the Unicode Basic multilingual plane. Unlike with the Unicode BMP Fallback font or the Unicode Last Resort Font, the characters in GNU Unifont are low resolution bitmap approximations of each glyph, which results in character renderings which are of low quality but adequate to be a distinguishable graphical representation of a given code point. The goal of the GNU Unifont project is to "lower our expectations about the font quality to a reasonable degree" in order to obtain complete coverage of all Unicode characters. To achieve this goal, all glyphs are 16 pixels in height and either 8 or 16 pixels in width. A TrueType version of the GNU Unifont is available for free.
