All,
The UK has a few smaller languages - Welsh, Scots, Gaelic and others. We've
not done much outreach with these before, but recently Robin Owain and
others of the Welsh Wikipedia - Wicipedia Cymraeg (
http://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafan) - has run some events with funding from
WMUK. A breakdown of the largest event at the National Eisteddfod is at
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Visit_report_-_National_Eisteddfod_8_Aug_2012.
Hope this is interesting for you all!

Good day,
Does somebody on that list know where I should go about this issue:
When I open the Cree wikipedia (cr.wikipedia.org) from my work
computer, I only see squares instead of Cree syllabics. First, I would
like to know if that's normal or if that's bug. Second, would there be
a way to fix that from the MediaWiki end since people on computers
like that don't have access to change the settings of their browser or
install new fonts (now I'm from a work computer, but same thing could
happen from a computer in a library for example). I'm using Internet
Explorer 7.
I have posted it there:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Localisation#Font_not_working , but
I'm not sure it's the right place.
I remember reading about the extension WebFonts to avoid those issue,
how can we go to create one for Cree if it doesn't exist? And where
could I find more info about that?
Thanks,
JP Beland alias Amqui

Hoi,
The problem is that you do not have the Cree font installed on your
computer. When there is a freely licensed font for the script used by the
Cree language, it will be possible to include it in the Webfonts
functionality. Similarly an input method can be included so that you can
type the characters.
Thanks,
Gerard
PS it is not a bug. It works as designed.

I think you need to install a language pack or a font. I can't see it a
work (I use Chrome here) but at home is OK (I use Firefox)

Hoi,
You don't. You seek a font that is either freely licensed or you talk to
the copyright holder and ask for it to be made available under a free
license.
Often you are successful because it does make the language more alive..
that is often the reason to make the font in the first place.
Thanks,
Gerard
