@Khattab The "font.ini" you provided makes "Tiro Bangla", this new font the default one for Bengali language, is this what you expected? And what do you mean of "Bengali Wikis", just wikipedia or some other sites? Thanks.

The linked discussion is about adding a new font, Tiro Bangla. Tiro Bangla will be added as an extra Bengali font; users can use it when they want by changing their preferences. The default settings will remain unchanged.

Cool, modified my patch, thanks for clarification, then we don't need to set wmgULSWebfontsEnabled for bnwiki.

I believe @santhosh is in touch with a Bengali community member about this task at Wikimania. He may have a follow-up thoughts to add here based on the discussion.

Indigo fonts, including Tiro Bangla, have now been added to WS Export.
