Thread:Talk:Universal Language Selector/Autonym font deficiencies/reply (10)

I see now why you wanted to test it like that. Your first comment suggested to add these "contrasting" fonts in our CSS code on wikis, or directly on the "autonym" CSS class. Now I understand you want to test something else. Lets's return to the issue: - missing glyphs for some scripts - very poor hinting (even for Latin) for display on screen (it seems that the Autonym font uses in fact bitmap glyphs for low resolutions instead of hinting; I know that designing hinting in fonts is a complex task, still requiring costly professional font editors and skills; may be you should contact Michael Everson, member of the Unicode Consortium, which is also present on Wikimedia in the Language Comity; he's a great typographer that could help improve the rendering of this font)

Note that the Autonym font must be tracked for evolutions in the list of supported languages (this list is maintained by the Language Comity too), which will also decide on things like the text to display in  for their autonyms: each new supported language name should be displayable correctly with this font.
