Lucida Sans Unicode

In digital typography, Bigelow & Holmes Inc.'s Lucida Sans Unicode OpenType font is designed to support the most commonly used characters defined in version 2.0 of the Unicode standard. It is a variant of the Lucida font family and supports Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Hebrew scripts, as well as all the letters used in the International Phonetic Alphabet.

The font is distributed with more recent Microsoft Windows versions. A nearly identical font called Lucida Grande ships as the default system font on Mac OS X, and in addition to the above, also supports Arabic and Thai scripts.

Other well-known Unicode fonts include Code2000, Arial Unicode MS, and the Free Software Foundation fonts.
