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
How can we go about creating a new WebFont for the Extension ?

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)

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
