commit bc7653538b89dceaf511d064c4c445db1ce087da

    replace fonts-freefont-otf with fonts-unifont
    
    The fonts-freefont-otf package has been included in this list,
    because it features some "wide Unicode coverage". However, it
    is quite visually unappealing otherwise (e.g. its latin glyphs
    are based on the same ones from the gsfonts package that the
    glyphs in fonts-urw-base35 are based upon).
    
    Replace this font with fonts-unifont, which is even more
    visually unappealing, but at least contains glyphs for
    every printable code point in the Unicode BMP - which again
    is quite a win.
