feat(anzeigetafel): default to GNU Unifont

Bitmap font with the perfect pixel height (16) for our use case. If we
get Unifont Upper as fallback font to work, we'll have pretty good
unicode coverage as well (some scripts don't work perfectly in Unifont,
but for us mostly Latin script plus Emojis is interesting).
