Old Church Slavonic
How to go about adding support for Old Church Slavonic and Church Slavonic for this template?

Unicode 5.1 recently added quite a few characters to properly support these, and there are only a few fonts available with partial support so far. More info at wikt:Appendix:Old Cyrillic alphabet and wikt:Appendix talk:Old Cyrillic alphabet.

These languages both (unfortunately) share language codes cu/chu/chu, and are supposed to be used with the script code Cyrs (see Early Cyrillic alphabet), which has different typographic standards from the modern Cyrillic alphabet (Cyrl). In case it matters, Old East Slavic (orv) and other languages may require or optionally use this script.

A suitable font list currently would be "Menaion, Menaion Medieval, Dilyana, Code2000, Lazov", but due to incomplete support would have to be updated as soon as better fonts are available. A larger font size would be beneficial too, since these fonts are very small. This should probably be applied in all browsers, not just MSIE, because the set of code points used overlaps with regular Cyrillic, and a mix of font families would be unreadable and terribly ugly.

A suitable short name for this would be Slavonic, which is commonly used in a historical and academic context.

Thanks for any advice. —Michael Z. 2008-05-06 22:36 z

Other fonts
Is there any way for users to allow other fonts to be used? On one of the machines I use, the only Tai Tham font I can use (Da Lekh) is not on the list, and the only way I can get it to be used is to remove the wrapper. On Wiktionary I can get round the problem by editing my custom CSS file, but the template here works differently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RichardW57m (talk • contribs) 09:39, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Script template inside lang templates?
Hey all, I wanted to clarify if there is any reason to use this template inside lang templates (e.g. as done here), or is that redundant? (I've generally not seen this done before, but I'm not clear on what the script template really does either.) R Prazeres (talk) 15:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
