Hello! Reminder: This TechTalk is starting in 30 minutes. *If you would like to join the hangout or follow along on YouTube:* https://plus.google.com/events/chpgv8usjd6dn38on07njjk28hg IRC: #wikimedia-office *More information about this Tech Talk from Jared Zimmerman: * "If you or someone you love every uses raster or vector (svg) assets in any of your work this tech talk is for you. *What is Wikifont?* Wikifont is an embedded webfont <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_typography> which contains single color glyphs for common iconography used in our projects. It is part of our move toward a unified cross-device/platform user interface, sometime referred to as mediawiki.ui Its also a way to reduce the number of calls to the server for assets (yay performance!) *What you may learn at this talk:* Is wikifont relevant to my work? (*hint: yes*) How do I use WikiFont? How do I request new assets in WikiFont? Who is using WikiFont already (Mobile Apps, Flow, Mobile Web, Some Beta Features) How does WikiFont work with i18n l10n? Do we hate IE6 users? *Bring your questions, your lunch, and come hear Shahyar, May, and Monte share some cool new things.
