Universal Language Selector has been enabled now on our wiki (he.wikisource), and it is a great step forward for correctly displaying complicated texts. Amir Aharoni (who notified us) and the other people who worked on this deserve great credit! At Amir's advice, I am filing a bug request that additional open software fonts be enabled for languages "hbo" and "he", because major text projects at he.wikisource do not necessarily employ the same font that was selected as default. Specifically, it would be beneficial to enable the entire collection of fonts at the "Culmus" project: http://culmus.sourceforge.net/ Of the "Culmus" fonts, the most important one to enable is "Keter YG" (which is used extensively on hundreds of pages): http://culmus.sourceforge.net/taamim/index.html
Hi, Is it fine to add only 'Keter YG' since it is most useful? I don't see any benefit to add 10 sets of fonts here. Let me know. Patch is otherwise ready to go!
Well, the more the merrier... :-) Is there a significant difference in terms of time and effort? But thanks and let's do Keter YG for now.
Actually, we try to add fonts if there's actual need for them and not just for variety. I can understand the need for Keter, because it presents text in a particular historical style, so it's useful for Wikisource, but just adding pretty fonts for decoration and pretty headings is discouraged.
No problem. Let's go ahead with Keter YG.
