The core fonts ( Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New) for Windows platforms were converted to Unicode even before Microsoft changed to the 16-bit WGL4 character set (652 characters) in place of the 8-bit ANSI character set (256 characters), and the numbers of characters in these fonts has continued to increase. Bitstream also had an experimental Unicode font, CyberBit, freely available from Netscape for several years. One of the first was Lucida Sans Unicode from Bigelow & Holmes, supplied with a pre-release SDK for Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 in March 1993. The number of Windows TrueType and OpenType fonts that support Unicode is slowly increasing. Links to font-related and language-related Web sites.
