I feel that I am not being taken seriously. Three times now I have indicated what is wrong with this solution, namely that a single font stack cannot possibly serve a global website.
I'm sorry you feel this way, if I wasn't clear, I agree with you, but I think where we disagree is that we could support multiple font stacks based on language.
I want to ask Steven and Jon how they plan on serving *all* the scripts and languages in the world in a *single* font stack. There is not a single font in existence that can possibly support all languages.
Yes I thought I had recognised this. See my message above: "The language support is more of an issue, but I wonder if this can be resolved by specific font stacks with more suitable open fonts is provided." I think we have a great chance to iterate from here and get better font stacks for all our languages. LESS supports configurable variables after all.
