Hello everyone,
The Chinese Wikipedia is holding a discussion [1][2] about wiping out tofus
when displaying rare Chinese characters. During the discussion, one option
turned out to be serving a webfont covering all CJK planes, which was the
practice on Chinese Wikipedia more than a decade ago before it was disabled for
security reasons. Since the reasons are still valid and ULS is no longer
accepting new font additions, so the only feasible way to achieve this is to
serve the webfont via a Toolforge domain.
Due to potential impacts of this proposal, I'm writing to ask:
- Is it acceptable to serve a webfont (conditionally or not conditionally) via
Toolforge by default, policy-wise?
- And is it acceptable in terms of performance (since Toolforge is not using
Wikimedia's CDN)?
