For my exotic audio production needs I prefer Arch Linux over Debian.
If you have other exotic needs, you perhaps are more lucky with a distro
that fits to that needs. The huge amount of Debian packages is caused by
splitting upstream to packages for libs, headers, bins, not because
Debian does provide most software.

Description : Font for unicode symbols (part of Unicode Fonts
for Ancient Scripts).
I have got doubts that "Fonts for Ancient Scripts" are "increasingly
widely used". Assumed that font is the only exotic thingy you need, it
shouldn't cause that much work to get it without a package provided by
the official Debian repositories. AFAIK there's no distro that fits to
all needs, that's why I'm using several distros, among others mainly
Debian and Arch Linux.
