"Select font for English": what about wikis like incubatorwiki, sourceswiki?

Did you consider a slow or expensive connection as an use case?

If I understood correctly, the requirement is to remove the checkbox and the property associated with it, so that the webfonts functionality is always enabled.

I did it and it was quite easy (thought requires review). Let me know if I misunderstood the requirement.

Merged.

And again a wrong decision...

Where already cluttering the UI with the whole ULS cruft and even a dropdown to specifically select which font to use for each and every single language - and then we remove a single, clear and helpful, checkbox to prevent UI clutter.

Sorry, but this is illogical and feels like a snub for everybody who's not euphoric about ULS.

You can influence decisions while they are discussed. This was nine months ago.

Sorry, you're right. Got confused because Nemo referenced this bug in a current one.

Anyway it was the wrong decision nine months ago then and has just become current again with the latest preference changes around ULS.

Per "influence decisions" I'm afraid it sometimes doesn't really matter if a bug is 9 hours or 9 months old. Specific decisions like which ULS preferences to offer seem to be made by devs and respective WMF product managers in disregard of the communities opinions. I did not even get a useful answer on why those preferences have to be removed. The universal answer seems to be "UI clutter" but that doesn't really count, when ULS adds a huge amount of UI clutter in the first place...

A checkbox to enable and disable font delivery will be present in the ULS UI in the re-deployment.

This is not a productive topic of discussion so I suggest we drop it.
