--- Comment #27 from MZMcBride <b...@mzmcbride.com> --- (In reply to comment #13) > Why do we actually have to remove this option again?

User preferences are a last resort; they're a way of giving up. The vast majority of site visitors can't set user preferences because they don't log in. The vast majority of logged-in users don't change the default setting (or even know that they have settings). And, of course, we still don't have global user preferences (i.e., the ability to set a user preference across Wikimedia wikis). In the conversations about ULS, I think some important points are getting lost. For example, ULS is not actually universal. It only applies to Wikimedia wikis, not to the rest of the Internet. Perhaps usage statistics would help here, but it's beginning to seem as though the entire approach being taken here needs a reevaluation. Users interested in decent font support should be solving the issue at an operating system or browser level. Solving the issue on a particular set of sites, at great cost, is beginning to look like the wrong approach to take. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
