Hoi, The MediaWiki software supports all scripts that are in UTF-8. This means that scripts that are not supported in UTF-8 and by inference the languages that use these scripts are not supported in MediaWiki. We have a request for one such language; American Sign Language. The people behind SignWriting, the script that allows ASL to be written, are developing an extension that will allow for ASL to be used in MediaWiki. It would be optimal when all scripts find their way in UTF-8.
NB SignWriting is only one out of a multitude of scripts that are not supported by UTF-8.
The idea of packaging a set of fonts and promoting this to our users is something I would find REALLY nice :) Thanks, GerardM

Today Dejavu is intended to be paired with other fonts to complete the CJK coverage. This quite well works on systems with reasonable font handling. If you want a single download you could always package them togeather.
But sure, it's incomplete. I did acknowledge that.

more then UTF-8 is able to offer.
Could you expand on that somewhat? Why are you saying UTF-8 specifically?
