Thanks for making us aware of this, Brad. I've immediately removed an unneeded use in Translate and removed that entry from the list.
One instance remains in the header "monospace hack, could probably be changed to "monospace, monospace"". Can you please elaborate?
Cheers!

I came across Gerrit change 79948[1] today, which makes "VectorBeta" use a pile of non-free fonts (with one free font thrown in at the end as a sop). Is this really the direction we want to go, considering that in many other areas we prefer to use free software whenever we can?
Looking around a bit, I see this has been discussed in some "back corners"[2][3] (no offense intended), but not on this list and I don't see any place where free versus non-free was actually discussed rather than being brought up and then seemingly ignored.
In case it helps, I did some searching through mediawiki/core and WMF-deployed extensions for font-family directives containing non-free fonts. The results are at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Anomie/font-family (use of non-staff account intentional).
