If you need bdftopcf to build, and bdftopcf is in xfonts-utils, I
don't see another way to do it than Build-Depending on xfonts-utils
ing properly (with zero width)
in the TrueType version. The BDF version doesn't have that capability,
and so neither would a PCF version.

The Debian unifont package was orphaned in 2006, so I posted an Intent
to Adopt it about a month ago. Before submitting the Debian package, I
wanted to have complete Unicode 5.1 BMP coverage complete because I was
so close to that goal. Now it is done and I can proceed with the
package. Anthony
