It may have been Primoz Peterlin.

Roman Czyborra also has http://czyborra.com/unifont, but I believe
that only has a 16 pixel high font.

KH> compiled those files and built iso10646 fonts (e.g.
KH> etl24-unicode.bdf).  And someone added them in ps-mule.el.

RMS> Are these fonts free?

Gentoo's mirror of the (24 MB) tar file is at:
