While we're on that subject.. I wonder if there are different possible Gothic fonts? The current one used in FWOTD images looks quite different from actual Gothic handwriting, someone pointed it out to me IRL and I've been noticing it ever since. β Kleio (t Β· c) 02:50, 8 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Jberkel Well, I know very little about licensing (or about fonts, for that matter), but I think the Google Noto Sans font for Gothic has an open license, and it looks fairly clean and neutral. But far, far better still is Silubr by Robert Pfeffer, which is free for non-commercial use but I believe it isn't an open license font stricto sensu, so I don't know if that's usable for Wiki purposes. I'd imagine it would be, since we're non-commercial, but am not sure. β Kleio (t Β· c) 14:47, 9 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Jberkel: Oh wow, I can definitely see why the switch was made to Damase, the Google Font really doesn't end up looking all that good...! Silubr definitely seems a bit more true to life though. Perhaps you could also try the Ulfilas font from the website Silubr is on? That one might look nice as well, it seems promising. β Kleio (t Β· c) 00:21, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Jberkel Thank you again. I personally like Ulfilas most, but it's a minuscule script whereas the Gothic alphabet was historically a majuscule script (being a variety of the Greek uncial script). So it's probably best and least misleading to readers to go with Silubr, which is a majuscule script and closest to real life Gothic manuscripts. @Metaknowledge, what do you reckon? β Kleio (t Β· c) 22:41, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
