GNU FreeFont - Free scalable Fonts

The GNU FreeFont project aims to provide a useful set of free scalable (i.e., OpenType) fonts covering as much as possible of the ISO 10646/Unicode UCS (Universal Character Set).

Besides a full set of characters for writing systems based on the Latin alphabet, FreeFont contains large selection of characters from other writing systems, some of which are hard to find elsewhere. These include the Unicode ranges for the writing systems listed here.
FreeFont also contains a large set of symbol characters, both technical and decorative. We are especially pleased with the Mathematical Operators range, with which most of the glyphs used in LaTeX can be displayed.

It includes:
  • Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic, with supplements for many languages
  • Greek, Hebrew, Armenian, Georgian, Thaana, Syriac
  • Devanagari, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Malayalam
  • Thai, Tai Le, Kayah Li, Hanunóo, Buginese
  • Cherokee, Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
  • Ethiopian, Tifnagh, Vai, Osmanya, Coptic
  • Glagolitic, Gothic, Runic, Ugaritic, Old Persian, Phoenician, Old Italic
  • Braille, International Phonetic Alphabet (and extensions)
  • Currency symbols, general punctuation and diacritical marks, dingbats
  • Mathematical symbols (including much of the TeX repertoire of symbols)
  • Technical symbols: APL, OCR, arrows,
  • Geometrical shapes, box drawing
  • Musical symbols, gaming symbols (chess, checkers, mahjong), miscellaneous symbols
