Fonts for all Unicode glyphs?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
I have the 'gucharmap' package installed, and it bothers me a little to
see the "no glyph found" symbols in sections of the character map, due
to the lack of appropriate fonts. It also bothers me when I run across a
Web page with similar missing glyphs, though that doesn't happen very often.
I've intentionally installed various packages just in order to eliminate
these missing glyphs, even for languages which I don't know and which I
don't have any particular reason to need to see the glyhps. However, the
process of tracking down the appropriate font package for any given
missing glyph can be mildly tedious, and it's hard to be sure I haven't
missed something at any point.
Is there any remotely straightforward way, in Debian, to install font
packages to explicitly satisfy the goal of "provide suitable glyphs to
cover the entire Unicode character space"? ('unifont' looks like it
would get me started, but not cover everything, and I'd prefer to use
some of the more specific fonts where applicable anyway.)
If not, any idea(s) how to simplify or speed up the process of
identifying appropriate font packages (or even font categories) on my
own?
