It might be helpful for some language wikis to link in a free font this way, when standard fonts supporting their script are often unavailable. Right now on such sites there tends to be a little English link at the top such as 'font help' leading to a page like this telling you how to download and install a font: http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project:Font_help
It sounds like a good way to provide the STIX fonts for rendering MathML as well, since currently one has to point users to a font help page just like that, and hope they don't give up before they get to installing the fonts and seeing the nice-looking equations.
