Monospace Unicode font

Question

Can anybody please tell me the monospace font that covers most of the unicode characters If not then a monospace font that contains most of the european language character set ?

Answer 1

I'm also searching for mono space, rich Unicode font. So far I use DejaVu Sans Mono, but I wanted to know whether there is better (for me) replacement.

So, as of today, I have downloaded the following TTF fonts and count their number of glyphs:

• DejaVu Sans Mono: 3289
• Everson Mono: 9671
• Fixedsys Excelsior: 5993
• FreeMono: 4177
• GNU Unifont: 57089
• Lucida Sans Unicode: 1779

But their usefulness is also matter of what symbols are exactly supported and how they look. For example the Fixedsys and Unifont have old-school appearance. Anyway, this could be useful info for somebody...
