== About the use of Webfonts ==

It has been argued that Arial is a safe choice for the default typeface due to its availability.
Using webfonts (+ Arial as fallback) could be a compatible solution that would offer more options in terms of typography.

From the technical side, I think there is already webfont support through a MediaWiki extension for displaying non-latin scripts.

==First line indentation==
Is there any consideration of indenting first lines of paragraphs, like in books?

Some Wikipedias use it already, for example Thai and Ossetic. --[[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 08:51, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

== Line spacing - footnotes ==

One important consideration in line spacing is the placement of supertext footnote references. These create uneven line spacing currently. --[[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 09:13, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

==Line spacing - languages with many diacritics==
Some languages use more diacritics than others. This is relevant for Latin-based languages, like Vietnamese and Min Nan, where the diacritics are far more complicated than in languages like French. And it is also relevant for Indic and Southeast Asian languages, which have a lot of signs above and below the the line. Currently in core these languages ask for larger line-height (see skins/common/shared.css).

This is an important consideration. Maybe the line spacing should just be increased for all languages. And maybe only for some languages, but the code that does it should be cleaner and more robust than it is now. --[[User:Amire80|Amir E.
