==Purpose==

This template was created to allow easy switching to {{w2|[[unicode}}]] fonts. This is useful for pages that require unicode to display correctly, such as those written in {{w2|[[International Phonetic Alphabet}}]] (commons: [[International Phonetic Alphabet]]). On some browsers, such as {{w2|[[Microsoft}}]] {{w2|[[Internet Explorer}}]], unicode does not seem to be activated automatically, so this template lets you force it manually.

One might ask why bother to use a template for this. Simply:

Line 45:

Controlled by [[Template:Unicode_fonts]].

I realize this is not preferable for everyone (I prefer Gentium over Code2000, and Lucida Sans Unicode over Arial Unicode MS), but the reason is simply that the current order will result in the most characters being displayed, and thus is imnhso the best choice for the Wikipedia. I highly recommend using a personal stylesheet (/monobook.css &c, class ''.Unicode'') to enforce a "prettier" display where preferred. {{w2|[[User talk:Anárion}}]] 12:46, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
