:::This template is meant to supplement existing ones (e.g. {{tl|IPA}}, {{tl|script}}), although the others could be subsumed by this one if that were desired. (Basically, they all are a way of saying "I choose ''this'' font stack to display these characters with".) No other template allows for "arbitrary" groups of characters, and none specifically deals with dingbats. ⇔ <span style="font-size-adjust:0.54; font-family:'P22 Declaration Script','American Scribe','National Archive', Ovidius, 'Ovidius Script', 'Horizon BT', 'Final Frontier Old Style', Charcoal, Virtue;">[[User:ChristTrekker|ChristTrekker]]</span> 15:57, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
::::I think you proposed somewhere that before the fonts were put in common.css they should stay in this template for a trial period. If we do that at first, we could peruse Wikipedia looking for cases where this template might help, and update it as we find them. That is how to know what is necessary.

:::::That's not a bad idea. One question is whether we want this to remain a separate template, or fold it into {{tl|unicode}}. I've made the default (no/unknown parameter) simply add the .Unicode class. ⇔ <span style="font-size-adjust:0.54; font-family:'P22 Declaration Script','American Scribe','National Archive', Ovidius, 'Ovidius Script', 'Horizon BT', 'Final Frontier Old Style', Charcoal, Virtue;">[[User:ChristTrekker|ChristTrekker]]</span> 19:49, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
