WebFonts is not loading on IE6 browser with Windows 2003 server. I changed the language to Malayalam on translatewiki.net and tested it. WebFonts option is not coming on the top. Please find the screenshot attached.

We had blacklisted IE6 for the extension based on Bug 33096.  IE6 is able to show webfonts, but when a page contains languages not in the font, for eg, English in Hindi wiki when Lohit devanagari font does not have English glyphs. it iis not using fallback fonts, and such text is displayed as squares.

My first thought here was that we shouldn't care about win2k3, but them I realised that there are terminal server solutions out there. Has vista ever had ie6, and if so, does it work better on vista, or should we just disable WebFonts in ie6 altogether, without an operating system condition?

Comment 3 Santhosh Thottingal 2012-03-29 11:38:50 UTC

Vista does not come with IE6. But there are not-so-easy ways to install IE6 in it, but that itself does not improve IE6. We have already blacklisted it without OS condition.
