I just tried using the timeline extension with a different font (FreeSerif. wikimedia uses FreeSans for this extension), and the Malayalam characters rendered fine (well what i assume to be fine. I can't read Malayalam, so it could be giberish for all i know, but it looked what i imagine Malayalam would look like). Since we don't have a font that covers everything, and even if we did, I could imagine cases where people would want to specify a different font then the default for their timeline, perhaps the solution would be to have a font parameter for the timeline tag <timeline font="someFont">timeline code...</timeline> Currently the font to use is passed as a hard coded command line argument to ploticus in EasyTimeline.pl , So i'd imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to allow alternate fonts to be selected by the user. -- 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
