UNSCII 2.0

In 2020-03-10, the new Unicode version 13.0 added 214 graphics characters for "legacy computing" (including, among all, the missing PETSCII characters, and a majority of missing Teletext/Videotex characters). Most of these were already included in Unscii 1.x, but now I have been able to give them proper Unicode mappings as well. This is the main reason for the Unscii 2.0 release.

Additionally, Unscii 2.0 fixes errors in some characters, legibility in some others and adds a bunch of new ones.

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 two main variants are unscii-8 (8×8 pixels per glyph) and unscii-16 (8×16). There are also several alternative styles for unscii-8, as well as an 8x16 "full" variant that incorporates missing Unicode glyphs from Fixedsys Excelsior and GNU Unifont. "unscii-16-full" falls under GPL because of how Unifont is licensed; the other variants are in the Public Domain.

The basic look of the 8×8 variant of Unscii is based on the following systems:

Amiga (Topaz- Cool

Amstrad CPC
Atari 8-bit (as in 800, XL etc.)
Atari Arcade (the iconic ROM font)
Atari 32-bit (as in ST etc.)
BBC Micro (graphics mode font)
Commodore 64
IBM PC (the 8×8 ROM font as in CGA, or VGA 80×50)

The 8×16 variant of Unscii has been mostly derived from the 8×8 variant by using a set of transformation principles. When in doubt, the following fonts have been looked at for additional reference:

Windows Fixedsys 8×15 (and its modern successor Fixedsys Excelsior)
IBM PC VGA ROM font(s) (and their modern successor U_VGA)
X Window System fonts 8x13(B) and 9x15(B)
Classic Macintosh 12-point Monaco
Digital VT420 10×16 font (used in the 80×24 mode)
Modern monospaced vector fonts: DejaVu Sans Mono, Lucida Console, Inconsolata
