Indeed. It also has italics, bold, and bold-italics variants, which are neatly used by Emacs's font-lock. I tried several other (mono)fonts over the years, but in the end have always come back to this one because of some or other deficiency in the other fonts. It's sad that the DejaVu Fonts project has been abandoned. Cheers, Luca
