XFree86 includes two new Unicode-encoded fonts with a large collection of non-ideographic glyphs. While it is possible to use these fonts as main fonts, applications may also use them as fallbacks when a given glyph is not available in the current font.
The font file
/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/6x13.pcf.gz
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1
fixed' font with
added support for the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Georgian, Armenian, IPA
and other scripts plus numerous technical symbols. It contains over
2800 characters, covering all characters of ISO 8859 parts 1-5,
7-10, 13-15, as well as all European IBM and Microsoft code pages,
KOI8, WGL4, and the repertoires of many other character sets. This
font is compatible with the standard 8-bit fixed font and
therefore also includes the DEC line-drawing glyphs in the range 0x00
to 0x1F, which are not part of Unicode or ISO 10646-1.
An ISO 8859-1 version of this font is still available in file
/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
fixed' and `6x13' still point at the
ISO 8859-1 versions of the font.
The ClearlyU font set of fonts provides a set of 12pt, 100dpi proportional fonts with many of the glyphs needed for Unicode text. Together, the fonts contain over 4000 glyphs.
The main ClearlyU font has XLFD name
-mutt-ClearlyU-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-101-iso10646-1
/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cu12.pcf.gz

XFree86 includes the ``Lucidux'' family of Type 1 fonts. This family consists of the fonts ``Lucidux Serif'', with XLFD
-b&h-lucidux serif-medium-*-normal--*-*-*-*-p-*-*-*
-b&h-lucidux sans-medium-*-normal--*-*-*-*-p-*-*-*
-b&h-lucidux mono-medium-*-normal--*-*-*-*-m-*-*-*
The Lucidux fonts are original designs by Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes. Lucidux fonts include seriffed, sans-serif, and monospaced styles which share the same stem weight, x-height, capital height, ascent and descent. Lucidux fonts harmonise with Lucida (R) fonts of the same vertical proportions and weights. The character width metrics of Lucidux roman fonts match those of core fonts bundled with several window systems.
