Unifont 11.0.01 is now available.  This is a significant release that
supports Unicode 11.0.0. which The Unicode Consortium released on 5
June 2018.

Unifont provides fonts with a glyph for each printable code point in
the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane, as well as wide coverage of the
Supplemental Multilingual Plane and some ConScript Unicode Registry
glyphs.

The Unifont package includes TrueType fonts for all of these ranges,
and BDF and PCF fonts for the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane.  There
is also a specialized PSF font for using GNU APL in console mode on
GNU/Linux systems.

The web page for this project is https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/unifont/.

You can download the latest version from GNU mirror sites, accessible
at http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/unifont/unifont-11.0.01.  If the mirror
site does not contain this latest version, you can download files
directly from GNU at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-11.0.01/
or ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-11.0.01/.

Highlights of this version:

Support for the brand new Unicode Copyleft glyph (U+01F12F), which was
added in Unicode 11.0.0.  This glyph is present in the Unifont
package's TrueType fonts.

The addition of the space character (U+0020) to all Unifont package
TrueType fonts, for more straightforward rendering of Unifont Upper
(i.e., Unicode Plane 1) scripts that contain spaces.

The addition of several new scripts that were introduced in Unicode 11.0.0:

* U+1C90..U+1CBF Georgian Extended
* U+010D00..U+010D3F Hanifi Rohingya
* U+010F00..U+010F2F Old Sogdian
