--- Comment #67 from Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #65) > Since fonts are being discussed from the very ground I think we should bring > back the discussion about using only free fonts, just like we use only free > content and free graphics for Wikimedia projects. See > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/ > Typography#Arial.3F_18136 We should only use free *web fonts*, since those are actually downloaded to the user's machine, and we don't distribute proprietary software. But a CSS font specification does not download anything, it just specifies some names. The font matcher (e.g. http://linux.die.net/man/1/fc-match or some similar tool or wrapper thereof) then decides which installed font to use. This is more analogous to how we support the proprietary IE browser, but do not actually distribute it. So I think using a mixture is okay in this case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
