[ ]index-1.85.html Access to the older build of Monospaced version
(v1.85 does not actually work in a Windows' console since it contains Katakana,Bopomoto,Hangul Letters)
This an early stage of the project to make GNU Unifont into a nice
scalable font; one of the primary considerations is to make it appropriate for console usage (and Windows’ console is very picky, with pickiness being mostly undefined). The mono
variants supplied above are monospaced; they are accepted by Windows
console (as well as they may be used by any TrueType capable
application — except for combining marks, which currently combine only
in DejaVu version). (The non-monospaced version is a well-behaved
TrueType font, so it may be used as a fallback font for Unicode content.)
(As a part of debugging process, the following sentence is not
applicable:) For combining characters, it uses the same strategy as
the DejaVu Sans
Mono: they are monospaced, but use OpenType instructions to behave
as if they were 0-width (in OpenType applications - do not know how to
test this…). All the characters available in GNU Unifont
6.3.20140202 are supplied, with the following omissions in the
monospaced version: U+0000, U+0001, U+0002 (it conflict with .notdef
glyph), U+30FB (including this makes this character work as a “substitution character” for PUA in a Windows’ console), and
Han/Hangul characters (not suitable for 16x8 cell except for couple of
dozens which do fit in a narrow box — and we include them). (Note that the monospaced versions are marked as not supporting Asian character sets — this would disable them from console usage on non-Asian versions of Windows.)
As a result, all Unicode 6.3 BMP characters (except U+30FB/Han/Hangul) are
available in the console version. The total is 15209 characters (and
.notdef/.null/nonmarkingreturn).
Instructions for installation of fonts into Windows console are available here. The gist is:
reg export "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont" console-ttf.reg
copy console-ttf.reg console-ttf-new.reg
## Edit console-ttf-new.reg
reg import console-ttf-new.reg

DejaVu Sans Mono UnifontExtras: A fixed Symbola font v7.12: prep-Symbola.ttf;
this fixed version shows nice with all rasterizers (including GDI on Windows! All that is changed is the PREP table is added; George is informed about this defect, but did not fix it on his website — as of June 2014).
