This would need to be by platform, eg. Windows, > Linux, Unix, etc. Users of XFree86 [1] will _most_ probably have -misc-fixed-*-iso10646-1 font installed by default. Font is actively maintained. More info here: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html There is another Font-project in GNU-world. Font name is: -gnu-unifont-*-iso10646-1 This font is not installed by default, however. Not much more info here: http://czyborra.com/unifont/ Some other names of Unicode fonts: ClearlyU, Adobe, B&H. Please consider reading this small section: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#fonts Thanks to Markus Kuhn for gathering this info. > [2] Wrt generic fallbacks, one possibility on Windows would be Arial > Unicode MS, although not everyone will have that font. Are there other > such generic fallbacks on other plaforms? I suppose that -misc-fixed-*-iso10646-1 is the best fallback for XFree86.
