Autonym in ULS was designed to load ONLY this font instead of a bunch of fonts. Performance tests show that * the download bandwidth uis highly reduced because ULS no longer needs to download many fonts (OK you don't download fonts for your installed system fonts) * the time to render the page is faster (the Autonym webfont is normally cached by your brower, it won't load again when you navigate, unless it has been updated on the server) * the browser needs to load many less fonts to render lists of language names: with your many system fonts configured for each script or language by your CSS preferences or by your browser settings, the browser will need to load all these system fonts in memory (even if the browser also uses a font rendering cache). * Nothing is changed for the rest of the page content (outside language autonyms): the content still uses your own choice of fonts * You can tweak webfonts used by ULS to use other more complete (and hinted) webfonts proposed by ULS: they will override the Autonym font if the span element containing the language name does not only use the CSS class "autonym", but also sets the lang="" attribute to specify its language. * You can tweak you own CSS rules to provide other local fonts you have for a specific language using CSS lang() selectors. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
