Bug #: 39481
Summary: Add @font-face for the most important fonts that
supports unicode
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: wikibugs-
ReportedBy:
CC: , ,
,
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
There should be @font-face definitions for the most important fonts that
supports unicode, at least for those that impacts the content language. It
should also be fairly easy to extend the set with additional definitions if it
is important for some specific content.
A separate bug could be to identify the fonts necessary to support
Wikipedia/Wiktionary. At least the Unicode-variants of the most common fonts
should be available.
See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulfilas and
http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wulfila
In Opera and other browsers the left column in the Wulfila article fails to
render.

Are you aware of the WebFonts extension? It can do this, but only if there are
freely (in the strict sense) distributable fonts that we can use.

Note that this is about a failure in Wikipedia, but it should have a general
solution in Mediawiki.
