Sun 19 Feb 2017 12:52:12 AM UTC, comment #1: Unifont is a "charcell" font, not a "monospace" font. It has glyphs that (right now at least) are either 8 or 16 pixels wide. That is by design of its creator, Roman Czyborra. A font rendering engine should pay attention to the width of each Unifont glyph, not making assumptions about the width of any glyph. For one thing, Indic fonts (Devanagari, Bengali, etc.) require a full 16 pixels wide, whereas a monospace font would try to fit them into 8 pixels, which is impossible to render properly.
