Along with that, I would love to see equal opportunity for users to choose between a modern and a traditional orthography font. From 1970s onward, kids are studying new orthography. Whether we like it or not that it is a fact and Mediawiki or any software should honor that. However, I don't have a font to suggest. Just something to keep in mind for future font selections. > I don't think UTC will take any decision on equivalence.

What about using the forks of those fonts with standard chillus? I know, when the additional characters defined in later Unicode versions, that will not get propagated to those forks when the original fonts add those chars. However, those chars are really archaic and chillus are very common. So chillu support should trump the support for new archaic chars. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
