[Wikipedia-l] adding a font on a wiki

[Talar Toprakjian]

I don't think it is a good idea to add fonts especially the ones you list.
Why accommodate someone who wants to use font that is not easy to read, by
substituting it with an equally bad alternative such as Beowulf? The font
should not be an option to change on wikipedia.
