             Bug #: 39481
           Summary: Add  <at> font-face for the most important fonts that
                    supports unicode
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Internationalization
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l <at> lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: jeblad <at> gmail.com
                CC: asharma <at> wikimedia.org, niklas.laxstrom <at> gmail.com,
                    s.mazeland <at> xs4all.nl, srik.lak <at> gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

There should be  <at> font-face definitions for the most important fonts that
supports unicode, at least for those that impacts the content language. It
should also be fairly easy to extend the set with additional definitions if it
is important for some specific content.

A separate bug could be to identify the fonts necessary to support
Wikipedia/Wiktionary. At least the Unicode-variants of the most common fonts
should be available.

Are you aware of the WebFonts extension? It can do this, but only if there are
freely (in the strict sense) distributable fonts that we can use.

Note that this is about a failure in Wikipedia, but it should have a general
solution in Mediawiki.

General MediaWikis don't have this problem and it's not something that should
be resolved in core.
Some Wiktionaries and Wikisources already have installed WebFonts, by the way.
