inside the english wikipedia we are able to use several other types of decorative fonts for userpage editings. in the si:wikipedia.org(sinhala wikipedia project) we only have one default font available for that language. is there someone who can make it so we can use few other famous free licensed sinhala decorative fonts inside sinhala wikipedia?

i did ask the one and only most active admin in that project here, he says he dont have the technical knowledge for this, hence im seeking help here.

below are some free licensed sinhala fonts:

The style guide on English Wikipedia lists the CSS statements that can be used to set font families. However, whether these fonts display correctly or not depends on whether the end user has the fonts installed on their device. This means that while you can follow the same approach to specify Sinhala decorative fonts, there is no guarantee that all users will see them unless they also have those specific fonts installed.

Additionally, the Universal Language Selector (ULS) is designed to host fonts that are necessary for reading text, ensuring accessibility across different languages. It does not provide decorative fonts for stylistic purposes, which is why you may not be able to see a variety of Sinhala fonts through ULS.
