::I was referring to the font we should use to render the sample glyph images. The font used to render characters in an article should be the choice of the article writer based on the needs of the subject, whether the characters are rendered using Unicode notation or not. However, if an article writer gets frustrated because his characters do not appear in most people's browsers, this page would be a good place to give him advice on how to fix that problem.

:::That's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure. :) And I agree completely. Font choice in articles isn't something we should dictate here. I also like the idea of using a free font for the sample renderings; I think it's good for Wikipedia to be as "free as possible", regardless of the legal status of font copyright. • If you think FreeSerif is the font to use, I'm perfectly willing to take your word for it. :) • Using one font for most would also let us dodge the issue of different fonts for different characters. We could name each image something like <code>FreeSerif_U+1234.svg</code>. Other fonts may place different glyphs there, but there's only one FreeSerif. —<small>[[User:DragonHawk|DragonHawk]] ([[User talk:DragonHawk|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/DragonHawk|hist]])</small> 02:11, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
