Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] New Lohit fonts - Please test
Hi, As I can see the fonts are not rendered properly. I have faced this issue earlier but the email from Abhishek Singh describes the problem a bit more in detail. On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 1:46 PM, Abhishek Singh aks.abhis...@gmail.comwrote: Hi All, I'm using Firefox 11 on a x86_64 linux machine, and there are problems while rendering devnagari characters. On the same browser, other webpages with devnagari characters render well (e.g. http://nagariknews.com). When I looked at the css styling, I found that the default text is set to Lohit Nepali font. When I changed it to Lohit Devnagari, it worked (also because the Lohit Devnagari font is installed on my system). The same page works fine on Google Chrome. On further debugging, I found that the woff version of the Lohit Nepali font is somehow aborted while loading the page ([Ctrl]+[F5] refresh this time). Same is the case with the IranianSans woff file. The locations are http://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions-1.19/WebFonts/fonts/Deva/Lohit-Nepali.woff?version=2.5.120111213 and http://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions-1.19/WebFonts/fonts/Arab/IranianSans.woff?version=1.020111213 (Keeps on loading, but could not load after a while and there is a timeout). Surprisingly though, when you try these URLs in your browser you would be able to download both the files. The screenshot of the problem with page rendering can be viewed at http://imagebin.org/204475 and the problem with loading the woff files as viewed in the Net panel of the firebug extension can be viewed at http://imagebin.org/204476 Seems some sort of weird problem with my browser. Has anyone else encountered this problem? -- Abhishek Singh FOSS Nepal Community http://wiki.fossnepal.org On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 5:08 PM, Gerard Meijssen gerard.meijs...@gmail.comwrote: Hoi, At translatewiki.net we installed the latest release of the Lohit fonts today. Among several improvements there are two things that stand out. There are now two new fonts specific for Devanagari and they support Marathi and Nepali. As you know certain characters are written differently when used for these languages. The Lohit Devanagari font does allow for the use of a local override but this requires a browser who deals with this properly and a source where the meta data explicitly states that the language is either Marathi or Nepali. By providing a font that is hard wired to show the variations for Marathi or Nepali a solution is provided that will always work. Our plan is to test the new Lohit fonts on translatewiki.net this week and have them go into production on Monday on all the WMF wikis with WebFonts support. Please test the Lohit fonts in your script and let us know as soon as possible when there are any issues.

I haven't (yet) got any response from 7 other communities (Bhojpuri, Kashmiri, Punjabi, Urdu, Bhisnupriya Manipuri, Pali, and Sindhi). At the very outset, I want to thank all of you who took time out and shared your experiences and thinking. It has been really useful and I hope you found it is as productive and constructive as I did. The purpose behind this exercise was to hear, learn, and understand the evolution of the various communities - and to therefore suggest ideas going forward. I urge everyone to go through all the other languages (even if they are not personally involved in those specific communities) because there are learnings for everyone from everywhere. I have been reflecting on the various insights and inputs and ideas I have got from all these folks as well as subsequent discussions on mailing lists and talk pages. Here are my initial thoughts. CommunityIt sounds like a self-evident and very basic thing but the single biggest priority for all communities (even relatively bigger ones like Tamil and Malayalam) is community building. What has struck me from the various language communities is that everyone agrees that this is very much required but very few are aware of what needs to be done or how it needs to be done. I wanted to share some thoughts about this. When I consider community building, I think of 5 broad aspects: 1. Editor retention 2. Attracting newbies 3. Community communication 4. Community collaboration and 5. Community celebration I would like to detail what I mean by each of these. 1. Editor retention: Like most language wiki communities we also have an editor retention issue in all Indic language communities. This is particularly an area of concern for us considering the fact that all our Indic language communities are really tiny and community buiding efforts in Indic wikis are very less. A dramatic case in point is Kannada where active editor numbers (that is, editors who do at least 5 edits a month) have declined from 25 members to just 9 members over the past 10 months
