btw, are we sure this is a font issue and not an easyTimeLine sucks issue?
(Similar to how easy timeline doesn't support BIDI at all - bug 4030). CC'ing
Amir on this bug since he's working on the bidi support in timeline, so he
might be interested in this (in the case this really is a lack of program
support issue not a font issue).

For what it's worth, I always thought DejaVu Sans Condensed worked best for
EasyTimeline. Compact yet readable. But perhaps it works less well for such
languages.

I've tried to merge the Malayalam letters of FreeSerif into FreeSans, but the
result has problems with U+0D7E.

I don't like the serif font for timelines, the letters are ugly to me at this
small font size.

Hmm, that would make sense. I'm not sure why i didn't do that originally, or if
there was a reason that i didn't do that originally (since the commit adding
the font option was such a long time ago, and my memory doesn't really stretch
that far back).

The font I've used was from Ubuntu. Version 20060501cvs-12.

With FreeSerif from freefont-ttf-20100919 it works fine.

Unfortunately, FreeSans from that release still doesn't include Malayalam.

I believe that is caused by the new unicode 5 way of encoding a certain

FreeSerif looks better, but it's not perfect.

Look for the label of the red dot in the legend.

As of r62018, easy time line supports specifying alternate fonts in
LocalSettings.php. Changing to a shell request.

The relevant setting is something like:
$wgTimelineSettings->fontFile = "fontFile.ttf"

probably would also want to update:
$wgTimelineSettings->epochTimestamp = '20081209214953';
to something more recent (Currently specified as above in CommonSettins.php)

fontFile.ttf must be in the path specified by $GDFONTPATH environment variable.
(Which i believe for wikimedia is /usr/local/apache/common/fonts .)

As for which fontFile, presumably we already have at least one malayalam font
installed for the svg renders(?), but probably not in the right directory
needed for easyTimeline.

See also bug 20825


It might also be interesting idea to change the default font for all wikis to
be DejaVu Sans, since that supports significantly more characters than FreeSans
(the current default) afaik, however that might break pre-existing timelines on
enwikipedia if they depend on letters to be specific sizes. Should be done with
care in any case.
