11 May 2019: GNU Unifont 12.1.01 is now available. This release includes the Reiwa Japanese era glyph (U+32FF), which is the one change in the Unicode 12.1.0 standard that was released on 7 May 2019. The Reiwa era began on 1 May 2019.
Unifont provides fonts with a glyph for each printable code point in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane, as well as wide coverage of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (Unicode Plane 1) and some ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) and Under CSUR (UCSUR) glyphs. Rebecca Bettencourt contributed glyphs for many scripts from the Under ConScript Unicode Registry (which she maintains) that have been added for this Unifont release. Also, David Corbett and Johnnie Weaver improved some Plane 1 glyphs. The Unifont package includes TrueType fonts for all of these ranges, and BDF and PCF fonts for the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane. There is also a specialized PSF font for using GNU APL in console mode on GNU/Linux systems. The web page for this project is https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/unifont/. You can download the latest version from GNU mirror sites, accessible at: https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/unifont/unifont-12.1.01/ or if that fails, https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-12.1.01/ or, as a last resort, ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-12.1.01/ In addition to the Unifont package's new glyphs, some C programs have been modified to use more hardened versions of a few functions. Full details are in the ChangeLog file. Enjoy!
