We currently use Unifont which is perfect for our usecase, however it is so big that it doesn't fit in a single TTF file. Its BDF and PCF versions on the other hand are also limited in the amount of codepoints they can hold. Thus we miss out on something important currently: Emojis.

Since adjustments to scroll_text are in order for #5 anyways, I propose to write a new font rendering engine for the flipdots with support for fallback fonts and ideally text shaping (via HarfBuzz).
