Hello all,
You will recall that we wanted to change the italics on mk.wiki to show proper Macedonian letters. We found a suitable free font and then, our community voted unanimously for the proposed change https://mk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0:%D0%A1%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%88%D0%BC%D0%B0#.D0.9D.D0.BE.D0.B2.D0.B8_.D0.B7.D0.B0.D0.BA.D0.BE.D1.81.D0.B5.D0.BD.D0.B8_.D0.B1.D1.83.D0.BA.D0.B2.D0.B8. The font is *Skola Serif Condensed Italic*, whose free status was confirmed by the author himself, Lasko Džurovski. The available here http://www.mio.gov.mk/?q=node/2182 and in other places, and here is the proposed look https://mk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BA%D0%B0:%D0%98%D0%B7%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B4_%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8_%D0%B1%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B2%D0%B8.jpg, compared to the current one. I did notice that when I tried to use it in Microsoft Word, it did not show properly, but less legible and rather ugly. I hope that this will not happen on the wiki.
Since none of us know about the process of getting the font installed, our community would like to ask you to do it for us, if possible.We are at your disposal for any questions and things that we can assist with on our behalf. As discussed before, we would like the font to apply only when italics are used, and across all wikis, if that isn't too complicated.
Thank you a lot from myself and our community,
Bojan Jankuloski

Is the issue Wikipedia-only or does it affecet every page/every software? If its effect is beyond Wikipedia, then it'd probably be better to ask producers for different OS to integrate a suitable font and ask different browsers provider to pick the font if the webpage specify its content is in Macedonian. 2016/01/29 23:29 "Bojan Jankuloski" bojan.jankuloski@gmail.com:
That will be great, if the system (on any wiki) knows to use that font
whenever the alphabet is being used in its Italic form.
Once we get hold of the most suitable font, I'll attach it here, together with any technical specifications the typographer may include (I also think he'll be able to answer any questions himself). Then we hope that you'll take matters in your expert hands, and/or guide us as to what we need to submit where.
Thanks a lot! Bojan

May I ask if it will be possible to display them everywhere when using Macedonian as interface language, or just on our wiki?
ULS fonts are applied on any MediaWiki wiki which uses ULS, but settings may differ on the exact circumstances.
