Change Details

**Request**: Make the font Junicode Two Beta (https://github.com/psb1558/Junicode-font) available as a web-font on Wikisource projects, in version 1.058 or later (either as an alternative or as a replacement of the current Junicode 0.900 web-font). **Use case(s)**: 1. Same as in the Junicode 0.900 request (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173573) – that earlier update didn’t fix the problems with Irish texts (while that version of the font has the shapes for the required glyphs, it requires us to encode them in a way incompatible with how Irish texts get transcribed on Wikisource, ie. for example it requires the use of ⟨ꝺ⟩ (u+A77A, LATIN SMALL LETTER INSULAR D⟩ + ⟨◌̇⟩ (u+0307, COMBINING DOT ABOVE) instead of ⟨ḋ⟩ (u+1e0b, d with dot above).Junicode Two Beta handles Irish texts typeset with Insular/Gaelic type correctly without the need to use the Unicode “insular” codepoints with combining characters. 2. It also adds many newer Unicode codepoints added in recent years. One of them is ⟨ꟁ⟩ (u+a7c1, LATIN SMALL LETTER OLD POLISH O, so-called o rogate) **Benefits** (why should this be implemented?):

See: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template_talk:Insular#Webfont_limitation_removed_in_Junicode_0.900 2. It also adds many newer Unicode codepoints added in recent years. One of them is ⟨ꟁ⟩ (u+a7c1, LATIN SMALL LETTER OLD POLISH O, so-called o rogate). This would be useful for Old Polish texts on Polish wikisource, see: https://pl.wikisource.org/wiki/Szablon:%C3%98 and https://pl.wikisource.org/wiki/Szablon:Orogate for work-arounds used there currently. **Benefits**: It’s an open license font (a new version of one already used by WikiMedia projects) that fixes multiple problems we’ve had for years.
