Unifont點陣黑是一個Unicode字體，每一個可見的Unicode基本多語種平面代碼點都有一個字形，具有修改字體的支持實用程序。Unicode基本多語言平面覆蓋第一個65,536(或2^16)Unicode代碼點。最新版本的Unifont包含超過5.5萬個符號，涵蓋所有可見的Unicode BMP代碼點。其中，近二萬八千字是中日韓(Cjk)的表意文字。如果你想擁有更多的文字，比如想使用繁體字、韓文等，建議你下載Unifont點陣黑。
Unifont點陣黑與中文像素字體在字體的設計上很相似，但實際細節上有很多的不同。中文像素字體筆畫上帶有襯線，更像宋體。Unifont點陣黑則沒有襯線，更像黑體，它們在英文字符的設計上也有所不同。

一位用戶問GNU Unifont是否可以與商業（非自由）軟件一起使用。答案是肯定的。GNU字體嵌入異常和SIL OFL允許這一點。有關詳細信息，請參閱下一節。許可的主要目的是要求其他人創建的衍生字體按照相同的許可條款向公眾發佈，而不是禁止在某些軟件中使用這些字體。因此，在衍生字體中保留許可條款提供了公共利益。這些許可證還提供了以前Unifont貢獻者志願工作的認可。
版權、衍生作品和許可
數千個Unifont字形是單個Unifont貢獻者的創作；這些字形享有不同程度的版權保護。其中一些貢獻是字母形式的既定字母，而另一些則是圖標（符號）設計，如許多動物圖標，作為藝術設計，這些圖標甚至具有更強的國際保護。例如，參見伯爾尼聯盟成員國德國（Unifont創建地）的適用法律備忘錄：Unifont版權保護。
Unifont的衍生變體是根據雙重許可證的條款允許的：GNU GPLv2+，帶有GNU字體嵌入例外和SIL開放字體許可證1.1版。這些是免費許可證。本節的其餘部分將提供詳細信息。
這些字體文件是根據GNU通用公共許可證（版本2或（由您選擇）更高版本）許可的，但將字體嵌入文檔本身並不構成對GNU GPL的違反。許可證的完整條款在license.txt中。
自Unifont 13.0.04版起，這些字體根據SIL開放字體許可證（OFL）1.1版和GNU GPL 2+（GNU字體嵌入例外）獲得雙重許可。SIL OFL可從OFL-1.1.txt獲取。
英文原文：
Commercial Use
A user has asked if GNU Unifont can be used with commercial (non-free) software. The answer is yes. The GNU Font Embedding Exception and the SIL OFL allow for that. See the next section for details. The main purpose of the licensing is to require derivative fonts that others create to be released to the public under the same licensing terms, not to prohibit the use of those fonts with certain software. Thus, preserving the license terms in derivative fonts provides a public benefit. The licenses also provide acknowledgement of previous Unifont contributors for their volunteer work.
Copyright, Derivative Works, and License
Thousands of Unifont glyphs are creations of individual Unifont contributors; those glyphs enjoy copyright protections of various degrees. Some of those contributions are letter forms of established alphabets while others are icon (symbol) designs such as the many animal icons which, as artistic designs, have even stronger international protections. See for example this memorandum of applicable laws of Berne Union member country Germany (where Unifont was created): Unifont Copyright Protections.
Derivative variants of Unifont are permitted under the terms of the dual license: GNU GPLv2+ with the GNU Font Embedding Exception and the SIL Open Font License version 1.1. These are free licenses. The remainder of this section provides details.
These font files are licensed under the GNU General Public License, either Version 2 or (at your option) a later version, with the exception that embedding the font in a document does not in itself constitute a violation of the GNU GPL. The full terms of the license are in LICENSE.txt.
As of Unifont version 13.0.04, the fonts are dual-licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL) version 1.1 and the GNU GPL 2+ with the GNU font embedding exception. The SIL OFL is available at OFL-1.1.txt.
