Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package unifont-bin, which
is part of the x11 section, and maintained by Paul Hardy
<unifoundry at unifoundry.com>. 

This package contains : utilities for manipulating the GNU Unifont.

This is a set of Perl scripts, C programs, and FontForge scripts
to manipulate Roman Czyborra's GNU Unifont ".hex" format font
files.  The GNU Unifont has a Unicode-compatible font structure.
These utilities allow editing ".hex" fonts with text and
graphical editors, producing final versions of fonts in BDF,
PCF, TrueType SBIT, and TrueType outline formats.

To build the TrueType fonts, install the package 'fontforge'.
To build the PCF fonts, use 'bdftopcf', which is in the
'xfonts-utils' package.  To obtain the font sources, run
'apt-get source unifont'.
