Thread:Talk:Universal Language Selector/Design considerations regarding usage of Autonym font in ULS

The Autonym font is currently developed to be able to display all glyphs of all language Autonyms with the purpose to be used by ULS for language Autonyms

The question is: Does this really make sense? Do we really need a font that supports all glyphs? Wouldn't it make much more sense to design a font that only contained glyphs potentially missing in the system font?

E.g. Latin glyphs should be available in the system font on all systems if I'm not mistaken. Why do we add those to the Autonym font? Currently this causes already many bugreports because of a lack in font quality. Even if this is resolved the glyphs used in Autonym font will differ from the system Font of most OSes (e.g. Latin charakters contained in Arial on Windows look considerably different to the latin charakters of Autonym font). Therefore we're creating an inconsistent look of texts in the UI on purpose. Is this really what we want people to see in prominent spots when visiting Wikipedia?
