HanaMinA is 19MB and HanaMinB is 24MB in size. Obviously not suitable for providing as webfonts.

That's the same situation as Chinese (as both use Han script).

Would there be any problem with adding these fonts to Hakka's Common.css (i.e. not as webfonts)?

And there need to be some place to upload font files, however, Commons doesn't accept font files IIRC, but storing it somewhere else breaks user privacy.

No issues, if the font-family has these font names with proper fallbacks(often sans-serif).

Runa, I am closing the bug because of the font size. But if we can find any alternate fonts with manageable size, we can consider it, but in another bug report. Thanks.

I added the requested fonts to hak.wiki's Commons.css:
