No mention there of the fact that this is a bitmap font. I think that's kind of important.

Indeed. Plus basic facts like: is it serif or sans? Proportional or monospace? Designed for GUI interfaces, terminals, or print? I still don't know.

Just showing a single screenshot of it in its intended use would go a long way.

I clicked on one of the charts and had no idea if the font itself was bitmap, or if it had just been rendered at a tiny size without antialiasing.

Given it’s a last resort font, I think it doesn’t make too much sense for print (unless you’re printing something that could be in any possible language).

		Saying a font is designed for print doesn't mean it's for literal professional printing. It just indicates that the x-height isn't increased the way it often is for a font designed specifically for screens, and that you can have finer details like serifs and thinner strokes. It just means it's intended for high-resolution viewing.

Yeah I thought maybe the "uni" in "unifont" meant it was a single font that would morph between serif and sans somehow. I guess it stands for "unicode", from an era when Unicode support was not table stakes.

		While virtually all fonts support characters outside of ASCII, there are few fonts that support all of Unicode. Unifont aims to be one of them.
