Unicode font

A Unicode font (also known as UCS font and Unicode typeface) is a computer font that contains a wide range of characters, letters, digits, glyphs, symbols, ideograms, logograms, etc., which are collectively mapped into the standard Universal Character Set, derived from many different languages and scripts from around the world. Unlike most conventional computer fonts, which are specific to a particular language or legacy character set and contain only a small subset of the UCS characters, these fonts attempt to include many thousands of possible glyphs, so that they can be used as a single typeface across multi-lingual documents.

Background

The Unicode standard does not specify or create the font (typeface), a collection of graphical shapes called glyphs, itself. Rather, it defines the abstract characters as a specific number (known as a codepoint) and also defines the required changes of shape depending on the context the glyph is used in (e.g., Combining characters, precomposed characters and letter-diacritic combinations). The choice of font, which governs how the abstract UCS characters are converted into a bitmap or vector output that can be viewed on a screen or printed, is left up to the user. If a font is chosen which does not contain a glyph for a codepoint used in the document, typically a question mark ("?"), a box, or some other Substitute character is displayed.

Computer fonts use various techniques to display characters or glyphs. A Bitmap font contains a grid of dots known as pixels forming an image of each glyph in each face and size. Outline fonts (also known as Vector fonts) use drawing instructions or mathematical formulæ to describe each glyph. Stroke fonts use a series of specified lines (for the glyph's border) and additional information to define the profile, or size and shape of the line in a specific face and size, which together describe the appearance of the glyph.

Many fonts have kerning pairs which implements better spacing in between the characters. Fonts also includes embedded special orthographic^{[disambiguation needed ]} rules to output certain combinations of letterforms (an alternative symbols for the same letter) be combined into special ligature forms (mixed characters). Operating System or Web-Browser (aka, User Agent) or both, which uses a font to display text on the screen or print media, can be programmed to use those embedded rules, or use external script-shaping technologies (also known as Rendering Technology or Smartfont Engine), and they can also be programmed to use either a large unicode font, or use multiple different fonts for different characters or languages.

No single "Unicode font" includes all the characters defined in the present revision of ISO 10646 (Unicode) standard, as it is continually adding more & more languages and characters. As a result, font developers and foundries are also incorporating those new characters in newer version or revision of a font, and correcting their previous errors if there were any.

The UCS has over 1.1 million code points, but only the first 65,536 (the Plane 0: Basic Multilingual Plane, or BMP) had entered into common use before 2000. (See the Mapping of Unicode characters article for more information on other planes, including Plane 1: SMP, Plane 2: SIP, Plane 14: SSP, Plane 15 and 16: reserved for PUA.)

The first Unicode fonts (with very large character set, and supporting many Unicode blocks) were Lucida Sans Unicode (released March 1993), Unihan font (1993), and Everson Mono (1995).

Issues

There are typographical ambiguities in Unicode, so that some of the unified Han characters (seen in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) will be typographically different in different regions. For example, Unicode point U+9AA8 (骨) is typographically different between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese. This has implications for the idea that a single typeface can satisfy the needs of all locales.^[1] The design of Unicode ensures that such differences do not create semantic ambiguity, but the use of incorrect forms is often considered inappropriate to native readers of East Asian languages.

Application of Unicode fonts

Despite all the issues, Unicode is now the base character set for many new standards and protocols, and is built into the architecture of operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and many versions of Unix), programming languages (Ada, Perl, Python, Java, Common LISP, APL), and libraries (IBM International Components for Unicode (ICU) along with the Pango, Graphite, Scribe, Uniscribe, and ATSUI rendering engines), font formats (TrueType and OpenType) and so on. Many other standards are also getting upgraded to Unicode compliance, day by day.

Utility software

Utility software can be used to see exactly which characters are included inside a font file:

Character Map applet included with Windows
Font Book application included with Mac OS X
BabelMap application, for Windows
FontForge application (Font Creator), for Linux, Unix, Windows

List of Unicode fonts

Of the many Unicode fonts available, the few ones listed below are the most commonly used by a majority of users around the world on mainstream computing platforms. More Unicode fonts can be found in the (List of typefaces) article's "Unicode fonts" section.

Note: ^† OTF+TTO: OpenType font with TrueType outlines.; ^‡ OpenType fonts sometimes don't contain a one-by-one Kernpair table but a kern-by-classes table where groups of similar characters are seen as one kern group. For instance, V and W have nearly the same left and right geometry. So “0” doesn't mean that no kerning is supported!

Comparison of fonts

Number of characters included by the above version of fonts, for different Unicode blocks (or, ranges), are listed below. Basic Latin (128: 0000–007F) means that in the range called 'Basic Latin', there are 128 assigned codes, numbered 0 to 7F. The cells then show the number of those codes which are covered by each font.

Cells shaded green indicate complete coverage.

Cells shaded blue are not complete, but are the most complete of the fonts listed.

Empty cells indicate that no character exists in that block.
