Line 387:

: Rather than attempt to make one size fit all with this template, or create the same problem with a similar untargeted unicode template, I suggest that you create a template specifically suited to the range(s) of characters that you want to handle. (If the characters are only used on one or two pages, you could of course simply apply a font-family style attribute using {{tag|span|o}} tags manually.)

: See {{Tlx|Script}} and, for example, {{Tlx|Script/Coptic}}, for an existing series of subtemplates which seek to do this.

: In case the browser already has a suitable default font, it might also help to specify a [http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html#generic-font-families generic fallback] as the last item in the font-family list, e.g. <syntaxhighlight lang="html5html" inline><span style="font-size-adjust:0.54; font-family:'P22 Declaration Script','American Scribe','National Archive', Ovidius, 'Ovidius Script', Horizon, 'Final Frontier Old Style', Charcoal, Virtue, sans-serif;">...</span></syntaxhighlight>

::{{tlx|Script}} mixes up ''scripts'' and ''languages''. It should not do when used for this purpose. -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 19:05, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
