In case you are looking for a Unicode font for Linux/X11, then try
ftp://sizif.mf.uni-lj.si/pub/i18n/fonts/bdf/etl-unicode.tar.gz
Author: Primoz Peterlin <primoz.peterlin@biofiz.mf.uni-lj.si>,
who used Naoto Nakanashi's ETL fonts from MULE project to create
this Unicode font file.
For those of you who want to have a quick look at this X11
Unicode font but are not very experienced with X, here are my
installation steps:
mkdir ~/Fonts
cd ~/Fonts
gunzip -c etl-unicode.tar.gz | tar xvf -
bdftopcf -o etl14-unicode.pcf etl14-unicode.bdf
bdftopcf -o etl16-unicode.pcf etl16-unicode.bdf
bdftopcf -o etl24-unicode.pcf etl24-unicode.bdf
mkfontdir .
xset fp+ ~/Fonts
and in order to see the first new Unicode font fly, just enter
xfd -fn -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-72-72-c-70-iso10646-1
If you tell Netscape Communicator 4.0 for Linux to use this font, then
I would expect that you can display part of MES, but for instance many
of the accented greek characters are still missing from this public
domain font. Warning: I haven't tried this yet myself with Netscape 4.0!
