+font-unscii (bitmapped Unicode font for blocky graphics)
+
+Unscii is a set of bitmapped Unicode fonts based on classic system
+fonts. Unscii attempts to support character cell art well while also
+being suitable for terminal and programming use.
+
+The package include PCF, TTF, and OTF fonts for use with X. No console
+(PSF) fonts are included: These fonts have over 2500 glyphs each, but the
+console only supports 512 glyphs per font. Most of the special character
+art glyphs would have to be omitted from a console conversion.
