Let's make Commons also a free repository of fonts, just like Open Font Library https://openfontlibrary.org but using capabilities of a Wiki to organize files, provide metadata, patrolling and so.
The uploaded fonts may also be used for:
- To display historic text of hieroglyphs, cuneiforms or other less known scripts using special fonts.
- To create an image of a text using a font by some wiki syntax so in order to create this page for example we won't need to upload each letter of different free fonts separately, like this category and its subcategories.
- As webfonts for parts of pages that need specific styles, phab:T166138.
This is similar to the idea of addition of 3D models to Commons, STL files that had support as a community wishlist in 2015 and happened on the following years, but this time for fonts.
I've already have suggested this in phab:T367644 and got a positive responses so far also as a RfC in Commons. I've even drafted a proof of concept software, a MediaWiki extension, described on the bug tracker.
I think we as a community should keep ourselves relevant in the web by allowing new ways of contributions and I hope you feel the same way also. Thanks
