<languages/> __NOEDITSECTION__

This is user documentation for web fonts functionality. [[Extension:WebFonts|Technical documentation]] for the WebFonts extension is also available.

<!-- Use this space for any language specific documentation that is not covered in the standard text. -->Many scripts for languages do not have proper fonts easily available. This may be because the operating systems does not have the fonts installed and the user does not know how to install them, or because the user is reading the wiki from a shared computer without the needed fonts installed. Because of all these reasons, providing the content in certain languages is facing issues. Web fonts solves this by embedding the fonts in wiki pages. The fonts are downloaded automatically so that the reading experience is complete and the reader doesn't see gibberish, questions marks or squares instead of letters.<!-- Use this space for any language specific documentation that is not covered in the standard text.

When the extension is installed and enabled, along with the login, preferences link in the wiki page, a menu will appear to select a font for the page. By default, the first font in that menu will be applied to the wiki. A user can change the font and it will be remembered across the pages. Optionally, the user can disable the font embedding too,; this choice will also remembered across pages, even for next visits, for 30 days. The menu will not appear if there is no text in the page in a language WebFonts extension supports.

If the font is available in user's local system, font will not be downloaded from the MediaWiki server. It will be taken from the user's computer. Otherwise, the font will be downloaded from the server the first time it is needed. Next time onwards, the font will be taken from the local cache.
