--- Comment #9 from Niklas Laxström <niklas.laxst...@gmail.com> ---
I don't think there is consensus that loading webfonts for interlanguage links
is always useless.

I see few options:
1) do nothing
2) exclude those elements from webfonts (there is similar system as for input
methods)
3) produce a special small font that contains all the glyphs needed to display
all the native language names

Both 2) and 3) are problematic because there are many other places besides
interlangugea links where language names are present (the many non ULS language
selectors, translatable pages etc.). Those would need continuous maintenance.

I would prefer 1), since it is simplest and has the least amount of maintenance
needed. If the reason for creating this bug is that loading the fonts is slow,
we can fix this by improving the performance of ULS (one performance fix was
already deployed today).

I would dupe this to bug 50836.
