unsupported fonts edit

@Monaneko and Perhelion: Bitstream is not supported by Wikipedia[1][2][3], please use DejaVu instead. (That they are identical cal be proved here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/SVG_Text_Greek_Font_Test.svg/1280px-SVG_Text_Greek_Font_Test.svg.png ) I would change the fonts, but I wanted to inform you before the new upload.  — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 22:37, 2 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

@JoKalliauer: absolutely no objection, do it, it's a Wiki. -- User: Perhelion 12:28, 3 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Perhelion:
  • I wasn't able to find the substiute font for 'Bitstream Charter', therefore I deleted it.
  • the updated rlibsvg-Renderer seems not to know fantasy or cursive any more. Even if I take your old file the Commons SVG Checker renders it differently as some years ago.

@JoKalliauer: Yes the font renderer is currently absolutely worse (the bug has high priority).
@fantasy or cursive: This lack should be a bug report.
I also don't know the current replacement for this, as the developer do there own undocumented thing here and sometimes without a replacement. Normal Charter replacements are Charis SIL, Lato and Georgia. -- User: Perhelion 11:34, 9 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Fallback of "Courier New" edit

@Perhelion: I uploaded File:Wien_hex_logo3.svg#filehistory (first version) and the text-logo does not look as expected, because "Courier New" is substituted with "Liberation Mono", but "Tlwg Typist" looks almost identically, compare File:Wien_hex_logo3.svg#filehistory (last version) with File:Wien_hex_logo3_Text2Path.svg.
I think the fallback of "Courier New" should be changed to one of the tree "Tlwg"-fonts in File:MediaWiki_SVG_font_list_mono.svg since the look more similar.
Should I make a bugreport on phab:?  — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 20:06, 30 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
