Hi,

I am proofreading Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar [1] on the English Wikisource.

It uses intricate formatting and for proper display of Biblical Hebrew 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.[2]

Some modern browsers, such as Firefox 3.5 are able to render downloadable
fonts in a way that is consistent with draft CSS 3 standard. Would it be
possible to upload such a free font to Wikimedia servers and let people who
use modern browsers, but don't have the font on their computer, enjoy the
book with proper fonts without bothering with installing new fonts?

Thanks in advance.
