Here is the debian/changelog entry:
unifont (1:7.0.06-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* debian/control:
- Updated to Standards Version 3.9.6.
- Added "libgd-perl" to Depends and Build-Depends-Indep entries for
"libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl | libgd-gd2-perl". The unihex2png utility
program that creates graphics images of each block of 256 code
points is invoked during the creation of font/compiled, with the
"png:" target; it requires the Perl GD library when run during
building.
- Set priority of unifont-bin to "extra" because three Perl scripts
(unihex2png, unipng2hex, and unifont-viewer) require libgd-perl (or
the related libgd-gd2-perl or libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl) to run, and those
Perl library packages have priority "extra".

Description: font with a glyph for each visible Unicode Plane 0 character
This package is a convenient way to install both the PCF bitmap
version and the scalable TrueType outline version of "Unifont"
(intended for general-purpose use) and "Unifont Sample" (which contains
combining circles to use for illustration purposes). It also installs
a copy of unifont.hex and related files in /usr/share/unifont.
.
GNU Unifont was designed to render something besides an empty box
for each visible Unicode character in the Basic Multilingual Plane
(Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the world's modern writing
scripts. This font looks best at 12pt.
.
Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters
change shape depending on their position in a word, or such as
Mongolian, which is written vertically) will not render perfectly.
The philosophy behind this font, though, is that anything meaningful
is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.

Description: PCF (bitmap) version of GNU Unifont
This contains two fonts: "Unifont" (unifont.pcf.gz) and
"Unifont Sample" (unifont_sample.pcf.gz).
.
This is a bitmap version of Unifont and Unifont Sample in a
standard X11 format. The fonts provide a glyph for each visible
code point (character) in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane
(Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the world's modern writing
scripts. These fonts look best at 12pt.
.
Unifont Sample contains combining circles for combining characters,
and so is suited for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs, whereas
Unifont is intended for general-purpose writing.
.
Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters
change shape depending on their position in a word, or such as
Mongolian, which is written vertically) will not render perfectly.
The philosophy behind Unifont, though, is that anything meaningful
is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.
.
Consider using the TrueType version instead (ttf-unifont), because
that version is scalable to any point size and has proper combining
character support.
Package: ttf-unifont
Architecture: all
Depends: xfonts-utils, ${misc:Depends}
Description: TrueType version of GNU Unifont
This contains two fonts: "Unifont" and "Unifont Sample".
.
unifont.ttf is a bitmap font converted into a scalable TrueType
outline font, Unifont. Each pixel in the original bitmap font
is represented as an outlined square. The font provides a glyph
for each visible code point (character) in the Unicode Basic
Multilingual Plane (Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the
world's modern writing scripts. This font looks best at 12pt.
.
unifont_sample.ttf is an SBIT font that contains combining circles
and is therefore suitable for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs.
unifont.ttf does not contain combining circles and so is suitable
for general-purpose writing.
.
Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters
change shape depending on their position in a word, or such as
Mongolian, which is written vertically) will not render perfectly.
The philosophy behind this font, though, is that anything meaningful
is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.
Package: psf-unifont
Architecture: all
Depends: bdf2psf, ${misc:Depends}
Suggests: ttf-unifont
Description: PSF (console) version of GNU Unifont with APL support
This contains a PSF font (Unifont-APL8x16.psf) as a console frame
buffer font with a subset of Unifont for use with GNU APL and other
APL implementations. The font is installed in "/usr/share/consolefonts/".
This PSF font is only suitable for running in console mode, not under the
X Window System.
.
A PSF font allows a maximum of 512 glyphs. The glyph subset in this
font includes ASCII, Latin-1, "oe" and "OE" ligatures for French, the
Euro sign, Unicode Box Drawing, Unicode Block Elements, plus various
glyphs for APL support and some other miscellaneous glyphs. The font
is monospaced, 8 pixels wide by 16 pixels tall.
.
Consider using the TrueType version instead (ttf-unifont) if you are
not running in console mode, because that version is scalable to any
point size and has proper combining character support.

Description: utilities for manipulating GNU Unifont
This is a set of Perl scripts, C programs, and FontForge scripts
to manipulate Roman Czyborra's GNU Unifont ".hex" format font
files. GNU Unifont has a Unicode-compatible font structure.
These utilities allow editing ".hex" fonts with text and
graphical editors, producing final versions of fonts in BDF,
PCF, TrueType SBIT, and TrueType outline formats.
.
To build the TrueType fonts, install the package 'fontforge'.
To build the PCF fonts, use 'bdftopcf', which is in the
'xfonts-utils' package. To obtain the font sources, run
'apt-get source unifont'.
