Aharoni <[email protected]> 2009-07-16 20:21:40 UTC --- This should be available not just on Tamil Wikipedia. I can easily imagine it being useful on every WMF project and MediaWiki in general. A very generic example: articles about languages and alphabets in every Wikipedia. A less generic example: Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar on the English Wikisource has passages in Biblical Hebrew on every page and it needs a font which isn't installed on most people's computers. Fortunately, this font, called "Ezra SIL SR", is Free Software, released under the Open Font License, but few people who would be interested in reading this book have the technical knowledge or patience to download and install a new font. Ideally, font files would be uploaded to Commons, but since they may have very intricate copyright problems, the developers may upload a limited number of Free license-checked fonts to a server which is not too open. I don't imagine that a huge number of font files would be needed anyway and there aren't a lot of Free Software fonts to begin with. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
