GNU Unifont is a free Unicode bitmap font created by Roman Czyborra. The main Unifont covers all of the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). The "upper" companion covers significant parts of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP). The "Unifont JP" companion contains Japanese kanji present in the JIS X 0213 character set.
It is present in most free operating systems and windowing systems such as Linux, XFree86 or the X.Org Server, some embedded firmware such as RockBox, as well as in Minecraft Java Edition.[2] The source code is released under the GPL-2.0-or-later license. The font is released under the GPL-2.0-or-later license with Font-exception-2.0 (embedding the font in a document does not require the document to be placed under the same license); and from version 13.0.04, dual-licensed under SIL Open Font License 1.1. The manual is released under the GFDL-1.3-or-later license.
It became a GNU package in October 2013. The current maintainer is Paul Hardy.
