A few projects exist to provide free software Unicode typefaces, i.e. unicode typefaces which are free software and designed to contain glyphs of all Unicode characters. However there are also numerous projects aimed at providing only a certain script, such as the Arabeyes Arabic font. The advantage of targeting only some scripts with a font was that certain Unicode characters should be rendered differently depending on which language they are used in. Unicode fonts in modern formats such as OpenType provide the same by containing multiple glyphs per character. (See also: Han unification)

GNU Unifont
GNU Unifont is a bitmap-based font created by Roman Czyborra that is present in most free operating systems and windowing systems such as Linux, XFree86 or the X.Org Server. The development and maintenance of this font has been taken over by David Starner from the Debian project. The font is released under the GNU General Public License.

Main article: Free UCS Outline Fonts
The Free UCS Outline Fonts [1] (also known as freefont) is a font collection project. The aim of this project, started by Primož Peterlin, has been to collect fonts from numerous existing free fonts and join them in one package, released under the GNU General Public License, aiming to eventually support all Unicode characters. It also seeks to support several font formats, including PostScript, TrueType, and OpenType. For this reason the fonts are derived from original work made in FontForge, and stored in .sfd (Spline Font Database) files. The font collection was not updated for two years between 2003 and 2005, but in April 2005 a font package was eventually released. The most recent release is from January 2006.
This project is independent of the Free Software Foundation but their font collection is very often erroneously referred to as "The Free Software Foundation Fonts".
SIL fonts
SIL International offers a large number of fonts, editors, translation and book production systems as part of their goal to bridge the digital divide to minority languages. This site contains many utilities for Windows systems, including right-to-left editors, keymappers, RTF translators, and high-quality, free Unicode fonts. SIL publish their fonts under their own SIL Open Font License. Typefaces include Charis SIL, Doulos SIL, Gentium, etc.
