For my MUDding, I use a font imaginatively named "Monospace", which does most of what I want. There are a handful of characters that come out as the "square with digits inside", but not huge blocks (certainly not "everything non-BMP" or anything like that). It's fairly readable, although I don't know about scaling - I run it at 14pt and nowhere else. Comes with Debian. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
