At this time the mobile interface does not support WebFonts or any other
extension (the MobileFrontend extension does the mobile formatting, and
doesn't currently pass through any other extensions' JavaScript or CSS).
You can click through the 'view on regular wikipedia' link to test whether
WebFonts works there; if support is good we can make the extensions talk to
each other.
There is some concern that Indic fonts are likely to fail to render
properly even if the fonts come through due to limitations in the
platforms, but that's what testing is for! :)
The blank home pages are a known issue with how they get special-cased in
the reformatted if they don't have specially marked sections; there should
be a doc page around somewhere...

Hi,
I've been asked on the Wikimedia India mailing list whether WebFonts
work on the mobile sites, and frankly, i didn't know what to say.
I'm not even sure what the mobile sites *are* now. If i browse from my
laptop to
https://ta.m.wikipedia.org, am i supposed to see what a user
who browses to
https://ta.wikipedia.org from his phone sees?
If that is the situation, then most Wikipedias in Indic languages are
probably not properly configured to support the mobile site. I found
actual content only on Tamil (ta), Marathi (mr) and, somewhat
surprisingly, Sanskrit (sa). All the other Wikipedias only show a
search box and some boilerplate text, although most of it is
translated.
Is it worth the effort to tell the local admins there to make the
necessary configuration or is the mobile site going to change soon?
Thank you,
--
