Description Shiju Alex 2013-07-10 01:45:16 UTC

One of the main reason why a user cannot read a script is because of the unavailability of fonts for that particular script in the user's computer. The webfont extension in ULS is trying to solve some of the above issues. So now when a user can read a script using ULS, provide an option in the ULS to download that particular font so that user can install this font and also read the other unicode sites.

I think that we may be able to revive the download page of the WebFonts extension, but not sure how hard or easy that is. If it's easy, we may do it sooner.

\\I think that we may be able to revive the download page of the WebFonts extension\\  

Instead of sending user to another webpage I suggest to add a small download icon next to the font list as shown in the attachment mentioned in comment 2. Just by clicking on this link user should be able to download the font.
