I know that this is likely going to be seen as buck-passing, but this is not a browser problem. Whether this shows glyphs or substitutes depends on whether you have fonts with those glyphs available. And by "available", this either means that the OS has those glyphs present [*] or whether Wikipedia decides to ship a webfont with those glyphs. The latter is pretty challenging for Wikipedia, as they need to provide a system that works for arbitrary user-generated text across all their pages, but there are efforts in browser-land that will hopefully make it easier. As for the OS and my [*] caveat: browsers can only pass glyphs that are widely available, lest we reveal a fingerprint. So it's possible that, even if you have a font package that has the necessary glyphs present on your OS, the browser won't use it to protect your privacy. As far as the RFC presentation goes, webfonts are a pretty workable way to deal with this. -- rswg mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
