Even more helpful: MediaWiki could determine if a
page uses a rare
character upon save and link to appropriate fonts.
The problem with this is that it means the characters may be displayed
in a different font even if the default font actually contains them,
which is needlessly ugly. We can't say "Use this font, but only if
the font that would otherwise be used doesn't contain character X".
Or can we? I will experiment a bit, but I guess something like this
would work:
@font-face {
font-family: glagolitic;
src:
url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/fonts/glagolitic.ttf")ttf");
}
body { font-family: sans-serif, glagolitic }
If default sans-serif font doesn't have Glagolitic characters, Firefox
will use any available font that has them, that should include
glagolitic.ttf .
