How to enable on Wikipedia?
I do not see any help for "Enabling Extension:Webfont to a Wikipedia!" Would you give me an idea, please. Thanks Usingha 08:57, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

See Amharic Wikipedia Discussion Here
Hi Santhosh: The webfonts extension was implemented for the Amharic wikipedia recently. But the font used for the wikipedia is in bold. It is like as if all the English text you read is in bold. It makes the reader and writer uncomfortable.

I know there are ways to reduce the boldness of a text in css/html. Is there any way to reduce the boldness of the fonts used in our wikipedia?

Thanks for your time. Hgetnet member page

Thaana scripts
Gday. I am assisting one of the dvwiki 'crats with some Thaana script/font issues. I have left a message at user talk:Siebrand, then was told that you are a bit of an expert in this area too. Could I seek your review of the text of that request and help me to guide dvwiki. Thanks. — billinghurst  sDrewth  05:59, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Fonts for bo and dz
Hello, we're updating logos for several dozens Wikipedias, but odder doesn't seem to have a font for and, do you have suggestions for (a free) one? You may also want to add it to Wikimedia_official_marks/Word_mark_creation if absent. Thanks, Nemo 07:20, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Universal Language Selector on Wikivoyage
Hi Santhosh, I am a volunteer editor at Wikivoyage, a wiki travel guide that moved to Wikimedia Foundation in November 2012. I'd like to install Universal Language Selector on Wikivoyage (maybe in a test wiki if available) and see if I can configure it to serve as a way for users to switch from one language version of Wikivoyage to another. We have 11 language versions now and expect more before long. Currently we use a "portal" at http://www.wikivoyage.org to let users choose which language version to visit. I feel it would be better and simpler for users, to default to the English language Wikivoyage and offer the other language versions via Universal Language Selector. This would let us eliminate the contentless "portal" page experience from a user's visit to our site, by offering choice of language version right on every Wikivoyage content page via Universal Language Selector. I also feel this approach would work for Wikipedia so that the contentless Wikipedia "portal" at www.wikipedia.org could be eliminated. But Wikivoyage is a smaller wiki and the one I am most active on. So I would like to focus on doing this on Wikivoyage. Is there a test wiki where I could work on prototype configurations of Universal Language Selector for Wikivoyage's needs? Can you help? How can I get started?
