# Fonts (extended)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This library provides an international font that can be used to display messages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The font is the 16px high [GNU Unifont](https://unifoundry.com/unifont/index.html).
|
||
|
|
All characters from Unicode codepoint 32 up until codepoint 1103 (U+044F) are included here,
|
||
|
|
which should be enough for [around 90% of languages](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.07779.pdf#page=5)
|
||
|
|
but **not** Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The font is 20kb so is far more sensible than the [2MB all regions](https://banglejs.com/apps/?id=fontsall) font
|
||
|
|
if you don't require non-latin languages.
