We would like to update the request. Please set Pyidaungsu font as default ULS webfonts and Padauk font as secondary.
Pyidaungsu font link : http://www.mcf.org.mm/download-center/pyidaungsu-font.html
@Ninjastrikers: Please provide a link to the explicit license of the font. We cannot support/install proprietary fonts.
@Aklapper :
Pyidaungsu font is licensed according to the terms of the SIL Open Font License, described at https://unicodetoday.org/fonts/ and http://mcf.org.mm/myanmar-unicode/384-font-history.html (in Burmese)
Padauk font is also licensed as SIL Open Font License, described at https://software.sil.org/padauk/
Oh, sorry I forgot this.
I think we can do it soon, but we'll need to update some documentation first (see T240319).
@Saimawnkham: Please feel free to follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector#Adding_fonts and provide a patch to review in Wikimedia Gerrit if you would like to see this. Thanks!
Change 948227 had a related patch set uploaded (by Stang; author: Stang):
[mediawiki/extensions/UniversalLanguageSelector@master] Add font Pyidaungsu, update version of Padauk to 5.001
The link of Pyidaungsu seems no longer reachable, and I download them from https://myanmar.gov.mm/en/-/pyidaungsu-fonts-and-keyboards
@Ninjastrikers and @Saimawnkham, I hope you could answer the question from gerrit:
ULS is not a general purpose font repository. The goal is to provide fonts for languages which lack support in operating systems. Is there a reason to have multiple fonts for this language?
Well, this request is from 2019 which there were font conflict between Myanmar Unicode and Zawgyi. Most of Burmese online users used non-Unicode font "Zawgyi" while Wikimedia sites used Unicode compatible fonts. Users complained they can't read shnwiki if they used Zawgyi. Therefore, this request happened.
@Ninjastrikers Thanks for your reply. I would like to confirm if the addition of this font is still needed, and it would be much appreciated if a new discussion thread could be started locally.
