We're trying to figure out whether this is a real problem at scale, or whether the best thing to recommend is to simply turn off those fonts, since they won't render well on any site. 4 is a bug that needs to be dealt with in ULS, per Santhosh's comment at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63718#c5 5 will be fixed per what I said in the email just before. The one thing on the mediawiki.org Talk page we haven't fully investigated is the potential issue with inconsistent x-height in Cyrillic. We still need to figure out whether that's font specific, browser specific or what. There are no details present about what OS/font is used in that report, so we need to investigate how widely applicable the report actually is. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
