The standard font used for the Wikipedia logo is

I just tracked down where to purchase it
(

which is somewhat insurmountable. The price.
Hoefler Text & Hoefler Titling
1 CPU License
US$ 398.00
and that is listed as a "Special Offer: Save $100 on Hoefler Text and
Titling" ffs!
If we end up 'correcting' the glyphs in the globe could we please use a
free-as-in-beer font for the colophon and text too? There are open source
fonts and to use this particular font is restrictive and way too expensive
to be reasonable for projects such as ours.

Hoefler Text, as sold at its site, also forbids the distribution of SVG logos.
"You may not create Embedded Documents, except as expressly provided
in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3:" "3.2. Workflow PDFs" "3.3 Flash
Files."
I personally propose the adoption of Junicode font family for all
Latin-based logos.
