I need a font that covers full 16 bit Unicode. I need in normal, italic, bold and bolditalic. And I need it serif, teletyper and smallcaps. Thus its 12 .ttf files. I need it because I want to write
I don't know if any font has *full* unicode coverage. I think GNU Unifont comes closest to this (but you already know about it), GNU Freefont does also have a decent coverage, and last but not least Dejavu:

LaTeX documents which can contain any character from that range, and I can not safely change the font in one LaTeX because of technical limitations of LaTeX (changing fonts inside headings is not allowed but needed). If you got such a font, just tell me and I will be happy. If you don't I already made my own combining (wqyzenhei + unifont + freeserif + linuxlibertine). According to http://wiki.debian.org/Fonts/PackagingPolicy its is simple to create a package and I will do this. But I would like to get it included into debian, and that is why I here first.
To be honest, I don't think Debian needs packages of a "bastardized" font that is composed of other fonts that are already packaged in Debian. No offense intended, but I understood that this is what you proposed to do.
