So the 80%-90% coverage of the SMP (the exceptions being cuneiform and hieroglyphs) by Unifont is essentially nothing? And its ~8000 glyphs for fictional scripts is essentially nothing? All in all, Unifont contains all glyphs needed by about 99.95% of the world population. It's more than clear that you dislike Unifont, you are entitled to your opinions, but I believe it is important to do justice to what others did.
