About the *fonts*:

As I understand it, the standard fonts list in TiddlyWiki covers some of 
the most commonly used fonts. So every user should already have at least 
one of them installed on its system (knowing or not) so that characters get 
rendered without having to include a font into a TiddlyWiki html file.

The font-stylesheets inside tiddlywiki are for fonts one wants to provide 
to users that possibly don't have them on their computers. Like 
Fontawesome, material icons, special emojis, or just some less-used 
fonttypes.

As far as I know, TW doesn't come with integrated fonts but I could be 
wrong.


-------

for creating a keyboard layout that uses special characters the solution 
would be one of two:

a) searching a font and include it in a stylesheet that users need to drag 
to their wikies
b) adding informations about which font to install on their system to be 
able to render the characters

I would prefer b) if I'm the user - it keeps the file small - fonts are 
heavy
