I'll reply about the technical part without getting into the copyright issues. (I'll only say that a non-free font like Wingdings will definitely not be added to the official Wikimedia version.)
And yes, it's certainly possible to add a font, though a bit complicated. That is, to add a custom font you have to edit code. Maybe it would be more robust if it could be done through a configuration file. In short, to add a font you have to do two things: 1. Add the font files to the fonts directory. 2. Add a few lines of code to the js/webfonts.fontlist.js file. To make it work in all browsers, you must also convert the TTF file to a WOFF file and to an EOT file. Instructions about that can be found at the. You must also think about the language to which you'll assign this font. Picking a dummy language code like 'en-x-wingdings' might work, even though it's not standard (or it might not work because some browsers won't like a non-standard code). This extension was not built for improving the design of webpages, but for supporting languages, so you'll need a hack to make it work as you wish. The full instructions for editing the code and for adding the font files appear in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WebFonts#Adding_a_new_language_support Hope it helps! -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
