And surely, before WMF/"MediaWiki" tell the
world that no free fonts
of good quality exist, there will be some document detailing exactly
why and based on what arguments/data/research the numerous free
alternatives were all rejected? Free fonts developers are an
invaluable resource for serving Wikimedia projects' content in all
languages, we shouldn't carelessly slap them in their face.
I just skimmed the entire thread again, and yes, this has been requested
a few times but no one from the WMF Design team has responded with that
analysis (or if would respond with an analysis). The first time it was
requested the person was told to ask the Design list, then the next
message CC'd the design list, but no response on that point.
I don't see much on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh
nor it's talk page. Nor
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Typography
cc'ing the Design list :)
