are the beta stix fonts acceptable and solving these issues? They are available from the Mozilla MathML web-page.
Their design goal is in principle the best for it I feel.
Yes, but I'd rather wait for the final version to include it in XWiki. I also have the beta fonts locally, but I don't think they were supposed to be used in stable applications. Update: I asked the FreeFont guys if there are any problems with the GPL/LGPL licenses, and they said it is OK to include their font in our product. For the moment, having at least support for some non-latin1 languages is better than nothing. I'll add some documentation about how to change the default font, in case someone needs to export chinese documents to PDF.

Hi devs,
I almost finished implementing http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1609 What remains to be done, is to find a good font to embed in XWiki.
The best candidate would be the one from the StixFonts project, but that one is not yet released (delayed several years, now apparently is in the packaging stage; the expected date is August, but given the history of their release dates, it's more likely sometime in the winter or even next year).
The next best candidate is FreeFont (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/), but that one is GPL, and doesn't have complete support for asian characters.
The third best candidate is an extended version of Computer Modern (http://canopus.iacp.dvo.ru/~panov/cm-unicode/), which is distributed under the X11 license, but it is less complete than FreeFont.
For the moment, I'd be in favor of including the FreeFont, but we need to see if a GPL font can be redistributed or not, and maybe ask for permission to include it.
