I use several of the fonts listed on this page: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.htmlI only used the Windows fonts, but they have also fonts for Linux/Unix/MacOSX.

IOW, if you absolutely positively have to have a pan-unicode font, then Unifont is the way to go. jonathonWhen I went online to the Unifont "project", I downloaded the full 12 MB version TTF file. When I looked at it in the font viewer, it was very "boxy" - actually each character is made up with boxes. Both the Web site and the info in the package manager stated the boxiness of the font.I still wonder what is the best looking unicode font with somewhere near the number of characters/glyphs that Arial Unicode has.
