Description Dereckson 2012-12-20 13:52:53 UTC 
WebFonts uses a $wgWebFontsEnabledByDefault setting.

Allows to configure it, so we can offer WebFonts on a wiki, but only if enabled through preference.

Case use: incomplete javanese script support in other browsers than Firefox

Dereckson, what do you think about bugzilla:30506 that seem to be the same problem?

I trust the internationalization team judgment and have no additional input to give on this bug.

If your community doesn't agree with their opinion, please provide an alternative solution in reply with strong arguments.

Any effort to be able to read and write Wikipedia in this script is greatly appreciated by the community. Thus, my point is would it be possible to turn on the WebFonts by default? (your commit here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/39578/2/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php)

From the three requirements to successfully display Javanese script, one need 1) download the font, or use WebFonts, 2) use Firefox, 3) turn on Graphite. If WebFonts is not enabled by default, anonymous reader can't enjoy its benefit, but if its enabled, then they only need to fulfill the other two requirements.
