Unifont type sample

GNU Unifont is a Unicode-based dual-width monochrome font, with glyphs in a grid of 8 or 16 pixels wide by 16 pixels tall. Currently, the main format is OpenType, which provides scalable glyphs (see an OpenType sample at left). The original intent of Unifont was to offer a simple font format with wide Unicode coverage to render something meaningful for each Unicode code point, rather than a blank box (“tofu”) for missing glyphs. This simple format has allowed many, many volunteers to contribute thousands of glyphs.

GNU Unifont is part of the GNU Project.

This page contains the latest release of GNU Unifont, with glyphs for every printable code point in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). The BMP occupies the first 65,536 code points of the Unicode space, denoted as U+0000..U+FFFF. There is also growing coverage of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP), in the range U+010000..U+01FFFF, of Michael Everson's ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) with Rebecca Bettencourt's Under-CSUR (UCSUR) additions, and of Plane 2 and Plane 3 CJK ideographs.

Because of the fixed 16-bit limit of 2¹⁶ = 65,536 glyphs per OpenType or TrueType font, Unifont requires more than one font file to include all of its glyphs in those formats. As a result, the basic Unifont font file contains Unicode Plane 0 glyphs (one glyph per visible Unicode code point), and upper Unicode planes are contained in the "Upper" font file series. The exception is that the "JP" (Japanese variant) OpenType and TrueType fonts provide coverage of all of Unicode Plane 0 (using Japanese variants of CJK ideographs) plus the upper Unicode plane glyphs necessary to provide complete JIS X 0213 coverage, for a total of about 59,000 glyphs.

BDF and PCF font formats only support Unicode Plane 0 code points, as a limitation of the X Window System handling of those font formats.

Use with Non-Free Software

A user has asked if GNU Unifont can be used with non-free software. The answer is yes. The GNU Font Embedding Exception and the SIL OFL allow for that. See the next section for details. The main purpose of the licensing is to require derivative fonts that others create to be released to the public under the same licensing terms, not to prohibit the use of those fonts with certain software. Thus, preserving the license terms in derivative fonts provides a public benefit. The licenses also provide acknowledgement of previous Unifont contributors for their volunteer work.

Copyright, Derivative Works, and License

Thousands of Unifont glyphs are creations of individual Unifont contributors; those glyphs enjoy copyright protections of various degrees. Some of those contributions are letter forms of established alphabets while others are icon (symbol) designs such as the many animal icons which, as artistic designs, have even stronger international protections. See for example this memorandum of applicable laws of Berne Union member country Germany (where Unifont was created): Unifont Copyright Protections.

Derivative variants of Unifont are permitted under the terms of the dual license: GNU GPLv2+ with the GNU Font Embedding Exception and the SIL Open Font License version 1.1. These are free licenses. The remainder of this section provides details.

These font files are licensed under the GNU General Public License, either Version 2 or (at your option) a later version, with the exception that embedding the font in a document does not in itself constitute a violation of the GNU GPL. The full terms of the license are in LICENSE.txt.

As of Unifont version 13.0.04, the fonts are dual-licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL) version 1.1 and the GNU GPL 2+ with the GNU font embedding exception. The SIL OFL is available at OFL-1.1.txt.

Specialized versions — built by request:

PSF: A specialized PSF 1 console frame buffer font consisting of 512 glyphs for use with APL, A Programming Language, in console mode (single-user mode on GNU/Linux, etc.), mainly to support GNU APL: Unifont-APL8x16-17.0.04.psf.gz (4 kbytes)
HEX: All the Plane 0 glyphs in Roman's .hex format, for those who wish to experiment: unifont-17.0.04.hex.gz (1 Mbyte)
HEX: The above .hex file with combining circles added: unifont_sample-17.0.04.hex.gz (1 Mbyte)

On Windows or macOS, unzip the .ttf.zip file or download the uncompressed .ttf file and copy the font to your Fonts folder. On Microsoft Windows, this folder is located under the Windows folder on your main disk. On a Mac, this is located under the Library folder on your main disk.

Alternatively on macOS, the suite of OpenType fonts can be installed using a Homebrew cask with the terminal window command

        brew install font-gnu-unifont

and updated to a new version with

        brew upgrade font-gnu-unifont

See https://brew.sh/ for more on Homebrew for macOS.

For best appearance on a Mac in a Terminal window, select Terminal from the menu, then Preferences. A Settings window will appear. Make sure that you're on the Text tab in that window. Then make sure that the "Antialias text" box is checked. The OpenType version of the font should then look fine at point sizes of 12pt and larger. The font won't look very legible in a Mac Terminal window unless you select this antialias option.

Note: BDF, PCF, and OpenType files contain dimension and spacing information for each glyph in a font. Some font rendering engines ignore this glyph information that the font file provides. This is especially true of rendering engines designed to handle monospace fonts. Unifont will not display all glyphs correctly with such software. The BDF font follows BDF version 2.1 (not version 2.2) because the the X Window System standardized on version 2.1. The PSF 1 version of Unifont is a monospace font but is limited to 512 glyphs, and is only of use with font rendering engines that support more than 256 glyphs in a console frame buffer font.

All unifont.hex sources are in the full Unifont Utilities download page.

Unifont Limitations

Unifont only stores one glyph per printable Unicode code point. This means that complex scripts with special forms for letter combinations including consonant combinations and floating vowel marks such as with Indic scripts (Devanagari, Bengali, Tamil, etc.) or letters that change shape depending upon their position in a word (Indic and Arabic scripts) will not render well in Unifont. In those cases, Unifont is only suitable as a font of last resort. Users wishing to properly render such complex scripts should use full OpenType fonts that faithfully display such alternate forms.

Drawing New Glyphs

If you would like to contribute glyphs, please email unifoundry at gmail in advance (not spelled out because of spammers). Several contributors are working on new glyphs, and it would be unfortunate to have multiple persons drawing the same glyphs.

Special Note: New Plane 2 and Plane 3 CJK Glyphs

The People's Republic of China (PRC) has a set of 15-by-16 pixel Chinese glyphs for Unicode Plane 2 and Plane 3. However, those glyphs are copyrighted and licensed for sale by the Government of the PRC, and thus they cannot be used in a free font. If you happen to have any of those copyrighted 15-by-16 pixel glyphs, please do not send them for inclusion. Unifont includes many glyphs in this range, drawn by Chinese and Japanese volunteers. More are planned for the future.

Release Notes

This latest release is part of the GNU Project. You can view the GNU Project Unifont Page on Savannah.

The theoretical maximum number of printable glyphs in the Unicode Plane 0 range is 65,536 code points minus the 2,048 surrogate pair code points, minus the 6,400 Private Use Area code points, minus the two noncharacters (U+FFFE and U+FFFF). This amounts to 57,086 assignable code points apart from the Private Use Area.

The theoretical maximum number of printable glyphs in the higher Unicode planes is 65,534; the last two code points in each plane are reserved as noncharacters.

      - 濲 (U+6FF2): This character is a variant of "瀔" (U+7014), and the "穀" (U+7A40) on the right side of "瀔" (U+7014) is a phono-semantic character, and its "semantic" part is "禾" (U+79BE), not "木" (U+6728).
      - 膥 (U+81A5): This character is a Cantonese character for "egg". Not yet (未) Become (成) Meat (肉) → Egg, so the upper left corner should be "未" (U+672A), not "末" (U+672B).

12 September 2023 (Unifont 15.1.01)

As mentioned during the year leading up to this release, TrueType fonts are no longer produced by the default build; OpenType fonts have taken their place. This change has been driven by the diminishing support for TrueType fonts in the Pango font rendering engine. TrueType fonts can still be built from the distribution tarball using the command "make truetype" in the font directory.

Ho-Seok Ee proposed a new Johab encoding for algorithmic Hangul Syllables generation. The resulting scheme uses 6 variations of initial consonants (choseong), 3 of medial vowels and diphthongs (jungseong), and 1 of final consonants (jongseong). The image on the left is partial output from a new supporting Unifont utility, unijohab2html, which gives an overview of how the three components of a Hangul syllable combine with each other and outputs any overlaps for a font designer's analysis. A full discussion of this new Johab 6/3/1 encoding appears on the Unifont Hangul Syllables Generation web page. Minseo Lee (이민서) provided feedback on the glyphs prior to their release.

Following a suggestion by Ho-Seok Ee, the hangul-base.hex file that contains the Johab 6/3/1 glyphs for Hangul syllable formation now begins at code point U+E000. This allows building a Unifont variant with that entire Hangul johab glyph set in the Uniode Plane 0 Private Use Area (PUA) using the command "make PUA=plane00/hangul/hangul-base.hex". in the font directory. Unifont builds have traditionally left the PUA available for CSUR/UCSUR glyphs, which is still the default; see below for a discussion of the CSUR/UCSUR glyphs.

Unifont Glyph Tables

Unifont font files contain glyphs in several Unicode planes. The following table provides an overview of this coverage.

GNU Unifont Font File Plane Coverage
Font Filename	Plane 0	Plane 1	Plane 2	Plane 3	Plane 14	Plane 15
`unifont-version`	X		X^1,2	X^1,2
`unifont_jp-version`	X		X^1,2	X^1,2
`unifont_t-version`	X
`unifont_upper-version`		X	X³	X³	X
`unifont_csur-version`	X					X
Notes: ¹PCF fonts can only include glyphs in Plane 0. ²Only a subset of Plane 2 and Plane 3 CJK glyphs plus the Plane 1 Copyleft glyph (U+1F12F) are included, to stay within the OpenType limit of 65,536 glyphs. ³`unifont_upper` fonts will contain a superset of Chinese Plane 2 and Plane 3 glyphs plus JIS X 0213 glyphs until the OpenType font nears its limit of 65,536 code points.

Plane 14 Glyphs

This table links to the two ranges of 256 assigned code points in Plane 14 (Tags and Variation Selector Supplement) that appear in the unifont_upper OpenType and TrueType font files.

Plane 0 and Plane 15 Private Use Area Glyphs

Finally, this last glyph table shows ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) and Under CSUR glyphs that appear in the unifont_csur OpenType and TrueType font files. Not all of the Plane 0 CSUR and UCSUR scripts have been drawn, but given the esoteric nature of some CSUR and UCSUR scripts (including the unavailability of glyph samples for many of the more obscure constructed scripts), the boxes in the table all have a green background color even if not at 100% coverage.

Contributing Glyphs

If you would like to contribute glyphs to the GNU Unifont effort, you can download the associated PNG file from the tables above (SMP and CSUR need additions). Then draw new glyphs in the 16-by-16 pixel area that is inside the inner box you see in the image on the left.

When done, erase the surrounding inner box and ruler lines around the inner box. You can then save the file as a monochrome bitmap image. Then convert the .png file into a .hex file with the unipng2hex utility in the source tarball. Or you can just email the .png file to me as a contribution to this effort and I will do the conversion.

Q: Why is the outer grid so much larger than the 16-by-16 pixel inner box?

A: Because in a future version, unipng2hex, unihex2png, and other utilities should be able to handle larger glyphs.

The table below shows the current state of completion of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (Plane 1). Any range in the table that doesn't have a green background has missing glyphs. To see which scripts are in a particular range, consult the "Supplementary Multilingual Plane" list in the Current Coverage section below. The more red a range appears in the table below, the more glyphs are missing from that range.

Current Coverage

Links in this section reference the first block of 256 glyphs where a script begins.

*Note: Scripts such as Egyptian Hieroglyphs will not be drawn on a 16-by-16 pixel grid. There are plans to draw these scripts on a 32-by-32 pixel grid in the future.

Plane 14 has two scripts, both of which Unifont covers:

Initially I just posted my additions to Roman Czyborra's original unifont.hex file. Then in mid-January 2008, his website went down. So I started posting font updates here. Roman has encouraged me to continue with my additions.

Roman's website is now back online, and you can read his Unifont description and motivation for its creation on his website, along with his archive of Unifont's changes: http://czyborra.com/unifont.

TrueType Font Generation

Luis Alejandro González Miranda wrote a cool combination of scripts to convert GNU Unifont from .hex format into FontForge .sfd format, then to have FontForge convert this to a TrueType outline font (see the Unicode Utilities web page on this site for more information). Pixels are drawn as outlined squares, so they scale to all point sizes. This works well with GNOME; I haven't tried it with any other Unix windowing environment. I've removed the OpenType SBIT font link from this page because the outline font is much more flexible.

Luis has given me permission to modify his scripts to convert the latest GNU Unifont versions to TrueType. I've modified his original scripts to handle Unicode combining characters.

JIS X 0213 Kanji

Jiskan16

Unifont 12.1.02 added Japanese BDF and TrueType versions, unifont_jp. This replaced over 10,000 ideographs in the default Unifont font with Japanese kanji from the 16 × 16 pixel Jiskan 16 font. The font is available in two files, corresponding to the two planes in JIS X 0213. Both files are in the public domain.

The comments in the BDF source font files (downloadable from the Japanese Fonts page) credit the following contributors (in order): Toshiyuki Imamura, HANATAKA Shinya, Taichi Kawabata, Koichi Yasuoka, TOYOSHIMA Masayuki, Kazuo Koike, and SATO Yasunao.

For the Unifont release, the glyphs from the two JIS X 0213 planes were converted into Unifont .hex files and mapped to code points in Unicode's Plane 0 and Plane 2 for Unifont. The result provides complete representation of the kanji in JIS X 0213 in a free Unicode font.

Izumi16

Unifont 12.1.03 replaced the Jiskan16 glyphs with the public domain Izumi16 glyphs. These provide improvements on the earlier Jiskan16 glyphs.

Wen Quan Yi: Spring of Letters (文泉驛 / 文泉驿)

The original Unifont CJK glyphs were replaced by new CJK glyphs from version 1.1 of Qianqian Fang's Unibit font. The Unibit font began as a combination of the original GNU Unifont glyphs and a basic CJK bitmap font placed in the public domain by the People's Republic of China. It adopted GNU Unifont's scheme of 8x16 and 16x16 glyphs. Qianqian Fang and many others then added about 10,000 more glyphs.

Qianqian states in the Unibit distribution: "The entire CJK Unified Ideographics (U4E00-U9FA5) and CJK Unified Ideographics Extension A(U3400-U4DB5) blocks were replaced by high-quality glyphs from China National Standard GB19966-2005 (public domain)." Wen Quan Yi volunteeers then edited thousands of these characters. Qianqian also drew the new 22 CJK ideographs in the range U+9FA6..U+9FBB that appear in GNU Unifont.

Wen Quan Yi (WQY) means "spring of letters," as in a spring of water. This is an interesting choice of words, as the British spelling of "font" is "fount" (but still pronounced "font"). See his website for more details: http://wqy.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/enindex.cgi, or in Chinese at http://wenq.org/wqy2/index.cgi.

The following code points in the latest unifont.hex file are taken from the WQY Unibit font (with my additions to complete the U+3000..U+33FF range, particularly the missing Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji), including glyphs updated by the Wen Quan Yi volunteers and other modifications as part of the Unifont font:

U+2E80..U+2EFF: CJK Radicals Supplement
U+2F00..U+2FDF: Kangxi Radicals
U+2FF0..U+2FFF: Ideographic Description Characters
U+3000..U+303F: CJK Symbols and Punctuation
U+31C0..U+31EF: CJK Strokes
U+3200..U+32FF: Enclosed CJK Letters and Months
U+3300..U+33FF: CJK Compatibility
U+3400..U+4DBF: CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A
U+4E00..U+9FBF: CJK Unified Ideographs
U+F900..U+FAFF: CJK Compatibility Ideographs
U+FF00..U+FF60: Fullwidth Forms of Roman Letters

Qianqian has given his okay to add these CJK glyphs from the Wen Quan Yi project into GNU Unifont. Likewise, I've told him to incorporate any glyphs he wants from my contributions to GNU Unifont into his Unibit font. In October 2020, Qianqian Fang also granted permission to apply the SIL Open Font License version 1.1 to Wen Quan Yi glyphs in Unifont as a dual license.

What's Next?

All of the glyphs in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane that could easily be drawn in a 16-by-16 pixel grid have been drawn as of the Unifont 9.0.01 release. A number of ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) scripts remain to be drawn. If you are interested in contributing glyphs to this effort, please contact me. All new contributions must be licensed under the same license as the rest of Unifont (in a nutshell, GPL 2+ with the GNU font embedding exception and the SIL OFL 1.1).

With the great work done by contributors in providing ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) glyphs, they are available in font files that have "_csur" in their name.
