Everytime I connect to Wikipedia, it keep getting asked to download
additional (foreign) fonts. (My settings are to ASK, not automatically
download addons). I'm going to English sites, so there is no reason to
need the fonts. I never download them, I cant read foreign languages
anyhow. But everytime I go to wikipedia I got answer "NO" two to four
times. It's annoying.

This is for K-Meleon browser.

I don't know the answer, but thought I should tell you you are not alone
- I used to get that a lot too. Not sure why it stopped - possibly
different browser/machine; I haven't been to Wikipedia on my old '98 for
ages. (IIRR, Korean was a "popular" one.)

Possibly a K-Meleon issue? Or maybe his specific version of it?
Wonder
if it happens to him with any other browser.

It happened to me and I have never used K-Meleon; it would have been
Netscape or Firefox for me.

It "happened" to you as in past tense? What did you do to fix it? Since
I'm primarily using IE8 I don't know. I only use Firefox, or more often,
Pale Moon, on special occasions, however.
