Thread:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Design/Typography/Arial?/reply (4)

Bumping this discussion, since our default font-types are being discussed again.

The Wikimedia web UI shows content (text, images, other media), interface graphics and logos that are either free or trademarked by the WMF. For the same reason I believe we should push free fonts, defaulting to the safe "serif" / "sans-serif" for clients not having them yet and not able to use webfonts.

If someone finds some proprietary fonts are nicer that is fine: some proprietary texts and images might also be better than the ones we currently have. The Wikimedia solution is not to use proprietary alternatives but to aim improve the current free ones.
