The Unicode Consortium formally released the Unicode 7.0 glyphs on Monday.
I have prepared a release with complete coverage of the Unicode 7.0 Basic
Multilingual Plane, plus ever-growing coverage of higher planes.  You can
download the latest tarball and TTF fonts here:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unifont/unifont-7.0.01/

The Basic Multilingual Plane is in one TTF font, and the higher plane
glyphs are in a second font.  That was necessary because TrueType has a
hard limit of 65,536 glyphs per font.  Variants of these also contain
glyphs for the ConScript Unicode Registry; those variants have "_csur" in
their names.

There are more font files in the unifont-7.0.01.tar.gz tarball.  Fonts are
in the subdirectory "font/precompiled/".  The "_sample" fonts are SBIT
fonts, and show combining circles.  They are meant for illustration
purposes only because of their combining circles.  Some Fontforge users
might find them useful.  They are a lot smaller than the corresponding
TrueType fonts.

Have fun!
