Reading about the 2 million codepoints: Is there a good set of open-source licensed fonts which cover as many codepoints as possible? Just curiosity, no real usecase at the moment. I don't think it would make sense to create one huge font for this, right?

Google's Noto Fonts[1] attempt to cover all of Unicode and are released under the SIL Open Font License.

That looks incredible complete, thank you!

There’s a project called, I think, gnufont but their font is a bitmap font...

Ah, thank you! Searching for "gnufont" brought me to[1], which looks pretty nice indeed.

I think that’s what I was thinking of. I guess they’ve got some vector outlines now
