Thanks for your interest in getting a better version of unifont into Etch, but rules for updating packages in stable releases are quite strict: only fixes for RC bugs are allowed, and new functionality seldom makes it in. You are welcome however to upload this new version of unifont to backports.org if you'd like to, replacing the one that is there already.
