Hi Reedy,
You are right, the site contents are published under CC-BY-NC-SA license but all the fonts of that site are not developed by that site owners (or who are involved with it). It is a simple site where you will find some popular Bengali free fonts.

The font 'AdorshoLipi' is published under the GPL 2.0 or higher license. I just checked the font info (open the font in fort viewer and click the Info button) and found the following license information. As licence supports this option you may add this in the ULS.

Thanks for checking up all the details. If you are inclined, you can also try to convert it to the appropriate formats for it to be easily added into Universal Language Selector. The documentation is here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector#Adding_fonts and has been updated recently. Thanks.

The original author of the font Partha Sarathi Pal (not on bugzilla) has informed us of a newer version of the font file than the one hosted on omicronlab. This new version adds support Latin characters and numbers. It would better to include this newer version. Currently, we are trying to procure this newer version (either through an publicly available link or attached to this bug) as it is only available with the author.

Change 88495 had a related patch set uploaded by KartikMistry:
Add AdorshoLipi font for Bangla

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/88495

Patch tested. Works well with Firefox and Chrome.

Tanvir, Nasir, Jayanta,

Can you please confirm that there is a community consensus for this font to be made available for use? A link to a discussion or a discussion on this bug will be fine.

We are done with the testing (you are welcome to test some more) and can push it into the repo once we get a nod that the Bangla user community will not object to having another font. Thanks.

We don't really have any page to test it. The tests were done on local wikis using the ULS patchset mentioned in comment #8 i.e. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/88495.

I am adding a screenshot from the my tests. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing the screenshot.

Form the screenshot i found that the 'Search Box' and the 'Search Buttons' are not in correct position. Do you think it is happening for this font?

I could replicate this behaviour only on Firefox. Siyam Rupali on Firefox displays the widgets correctly (screenshot attached).

However, Adorsholipi on Chrome does not show the problem (screenshot attached).

Thanks.

Using Adorsholipi on Chrome "সম্প্রদায়ের প্রবেশদ্বার" not render properly. So we cant understand whether other "Juktakkhar" works or nor not, could you please provide any long article page?

Attached:

In the previous screenshots it shows that, this font breaks the style in the top right search box area. but i am not sure why the button styles were different for the font 'Siyam Rupali' and 'Adorsholipi'.

It would be better i can get full page screenshot.

Adorshilipi used on a long section of text on firefox

The rendering is not broken here but a part of the text is hanging out of the search box.

Rendering is broken more than before on chrome. I would probably like to see this tested on other platforms (Linux & Windows) before blaming it on chrome.

Nasir, Jayanta, If you have local wiki's that you can use for testing, I can guide you on how to set the font there. Let me know if that works. Thanks

Hi Runa,
I can test this on my local machine. Could you please let me know the steps to reproduce this.

Issue filed: https://github.com/shabab/AdorshoLipi-font/issues/1

Comparison can also be done here now: http://kartik.profarius.com/tests/webfonts.html

Hello. Is this on? Please let's get some progress here, or we need to move on.

Shabab / Jayanta / Tanvir / Nasir:

The patch to add the AdorshoLipi font welcomes more testing from community as its glyphs (the way certain letters are displayed) might require more work.

To make it easier for you to test and compare the font, Runa said that she will try to make the link in http://kartik.profarius.com/tests/webfonts.html work again.

Is there anything else to help you and the Bangla community to provide feedback on the AdorshoLipi font, apart from making that comparison link work again?

Have / Could you ask the community on the local Village Pump / discussion page to please help testing the font and to add feedback in that thread on the discussion page? Afterwards, somebody could summarize (or translate the feedback to English if needed) and add it here in Bugzilla as a comment?

Thanks in advance for your help to get this font hopefully deployed soon to the entire community!

Shabab / Jayanta / Tanvir / Nasir: Please answer comment 31.

Hi Andre Klapper, Could you please add AdorshoLipi font again at http://kartik.profarius.com/tests/webfonts.html ?

@Nasir, http://kartik.profarius.com/tests/webfonts.html page is updated with AdorshoLipi now.

The font designer is not responding the on the issue of font scaling (https://github.com/shabab/AdorshoLipi-font/issues/1). So it is better to discrete the patch and not merge with the ULS.
