Hi, tl;dr: The "fonts" submodule in operations/mediawiki-config will go away For a very long time, we've had a Git repository, operations/mediawiki-config/fonts, that contains a random assortment of font files copied out of an Ubuntu appserver back in 2008. My understanding is that these fonts were only ever used by the EasyTimeline extension via ploticus. The current README ends with: ...which has now happened with the migration to Shellbox. During the build process, the fonts are copied out of the Git repository into the Shellbox container[1]. I intend to: 1) remove the fonts submodule from the operations/mediawiki-config repository, removing it from all appservers[2]. 2) Empty out most of the fonts repository so it only contains the 3 fonts we actually use for Timelines (FreeSans, FreeSansWMF, unifont)[3]. I am mostly sending this email in case someone else is using this repository for fonts or expecting this path to exist on appservers, in which case, please say something. Semi-relatedly, there is an open task to remove all the fonts installed via Debian packages from appservers, now that all thumbnailing and image generation happens on thumbor/shellbox servers[4].
