Thanks for this feature request. Are yOu aware of any free fonts that would be candidates for Dzongkha / Tibetan script?

http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/free-tibetan/jomolhari/jomolhari-alpha3c.tar.gz says it uses the "SIL Open Font License".

I'm not sure if that is sufficient, but it is a start.

I made a patch for dzongkha font. I guess it does not work as expected. Font size is big.

2269308 jomolhari.eot
2269108 jomolhari.ttf
 823612 jomolhari.woff

I setup extension with the font on this site.

Have used font as available in debian squeeze

Thanks. Done in r111620. Will be available in translatewiki.net for further testing soon.

Since r111764 available for both Dzongkha (dz) and Tibetan (bo).

I got a friend who studied to test it in translatewiki.net and he said that it is good. Do we want to ask the editing communities about it or should we go ahead with deployment?
