I want to add a basic font, using common.css for English readers - unfortunately, @import has been disabled. There is clearly a perfectly rational reason for it to be disabled by default, turning it back on is probably obvious, in some clearly defined settings file. However, I just want to use a web-font, this seems to be the simplest way to do it.
Please educate me on the reason why it is turned off by default, and how to turn it back on.
If you want to change a font for everyone, the Universal Language Selector extension is not the best way to do it. You can use normal CSS in MediaWiki:Common.css, or maybe there are other extensions to do the same.
@import has been disabled in MediaWiki:Common.css. I don't know why. It doesn't matter, I will manually install a font, however annoying, or use an extension of some kind. But again, hoops where the simplest command, could have prevented hours of toil.
