Please replace Divehi font. It is illegible and incomplete. Here is the official and widely used font. This is the font accepted for official / government use. dv.wikipedia.org ISO15924 Language code = 170
What do you mean replace? Divehi is not supported as far as I can see, and I've already pointed you to the instructions on [[mw:Extension:WebFonts#Adding_a_new_language_support]]. Please suggest a font (i.e. a eot, ttf, woff file) to be included.

*** Bug 42855 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I meant to attach the file, looks like it didn't upload properly. Faruma.ttf on launchpad would be very good alternative. Vituzzu had asked Glacious to choose from them, and I have nosed in there as well. This is just FYI. Thanks guys ;)
Please provide exact and full links, always. "Faruma.ttf on launchpad" is not a link, it's as helpful as "get Faruma at that shop around the corner". ;)
I am sorry for that, but the no-link was purposeful this time, seeing as I thought Vituzzu was (unofficially) assigned this. This was the link he proposed: https://launchpad.net/ttf-dhivehi-fonts/1.0 Source:http://dv.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Glacious Sorry about the stretched conversation guys. Thanks.
Thanks for the link. Things are usually faster if you do yourself what requested at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WebFonts#Preparing_webfonts (converting the fonts to the needed formats and verify them).

Can anyone update me with the status. I have tried https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WebFonts#Preparing_webfonts, but the documentation is not very clear so I couldn't complete it.

If something is "not very clear" please elaborate what exactly needs improvement.
In Preparing webfonts section it says to install the tool and run ttf2eot yourfont.ttf > yourfont.eot. I substitued the font with the font I need and nothing happens.
(In reply to comment #11) > run ttf2eot yourfont.ttf > yourfont.eot From the README file included in ttf2eot-0.0.2-2.tar.gz : > Usage: > $ ./ttf2eot < input.ttf > output.eot Looks like the documentation on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WebFonts#Preparing_webfonts is wrong and needs fixing. I cannot test myself as I get a compile error for ttf2eot with gcc 4.6.3 in OpenTypeUtilities.cpp:getEOTHeader(). > I substitued the font with the font I need and nothing happens. Please try the command with "<" and check if the file yourfont.eot is created.
Nota Bene: Font license discussion at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-February/066448.html
Bug title changed. We need a free licensed font with optimal size to support. See http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-February/066448.html for discussion.
So the bug is also about finding one such font? Correct the summary if it's not.
It's possible to remove glyphs from fonts. So maybe someone could remove the unwanted glyphs from FreeSerif.ttf from https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont which have appropriate glyphs and proper copyright information.
Created attachment 11979 [details] zip file containing thaana WOFF WOFF files have been created. Could someone please check on this and tell me if there is any problem?
Thanks. I assume that I can add GNU freefont as upstream for this subset font? ( we maintain that information also inside ULS)
Yes. You could add GNU Freefont as upstream. Steve White from GNU FreeFont created the WOFF. He told me to post the file at a separate project and put a notice of that location in the WOFF file itself.
