https://developers.google.com/pagespeed/#url=https_3A_2F_2Fwww.mediawiki.org_2F&mobile=false&rule=EnableGzipCompression Compressing https://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions-1.19/WebFonts/fonts/Khmr/KhmerOSbattambang.svg?version=1.10&20111213... could save 228.2KiB (82% reduction). I'm guessing it will be a similar story for the other 15 SVG fonts that can potentially be served... Will certainly help for people on slow connections if we can remove a large chunk of the served data
Logged bug 34812 as a way to dynamically do it foo.min.svg esk files could be created in the meanwhile...
Simplest way to accomplish this should be to configure the web servers to do transparent gzip compression on the backend Apache web servers. Varnish on bits.wikimedia.org's proxy layer should transfer it through just fine, as long as the Vary: Accept-Encoding is added (which it *ought* to be). We might already have gzip configured for some other file types, so check the current configurations.
SVG fonts does not work for complex scripts. There were some svg files in the extension, I have removed them. We have only one svg file in the extension, it is SVG version of Ubuntu font
Santhosh, is this request still relevant?
In the latest version of the extension, there are not SVG files. Closing this bug.
