The Hakka Wikipedia community has requested[1][2] the addition of the following fonts for better display of the content on the Hakka Wikipedia. 1. MingLiU-ExtB 2. SimSun-ExtB 3. Sun-ExtB 4. Sun-ExtA 5. MingLiU 6. SimSun 7. HanaMinB 8. HanaMinA Of these, only 'HanaMinA' and 'HanaMinB' have been released under Open Font License. These fonts are part of the Hanazono fonts (http://fonts.jp/hanazono/) released by the GlyphWiki project (http://glyphwiki.org/wiki/GlyphWiki:%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9A%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8).

HanaMinA is 19MB and HanaMinB is 24MB in size. Obviously not suitable for providing as webfonts.

Would there be any problem with adding these fonts to Hakka's Common.css (i.e. not as webfonts)?

Runa, I am closing the bug because of the font size. But if we can find any alternate fonts with manageable size, we can consider it, but in another bug report. Thanks.
I added the requested fonts to hak.wiki's Commons.css: https://hak.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACommon.css&diff=85152&oldid=82177
