This is a list of typefaces, which are separated into groups by distinct artistic differences.
[8] The vast majority of modern computer fonts use Unicode mappings, even those fonts which only include glyphs for a single writing system, or even only support the basic Latin alphabet.
The distinction is historic: before Unicode, when most computer systems used only eight-bit bytes, no more than 256 characters (or control codes) could be encoded.
By assuring unique assignments, Unicode resolved this issue.
This list of more comprehensive Unicode fonts, including open-source Unicode typefaces, showing the number of characters/glyphs included for the released version, and also showing font's license type: Typefaces with an asterisk (*) after their name are part of a superfamily that belongs to multiple categories.
