Confusion with SIL licence

Hello, title of this project states that SIL license is GPL compatible, but I found contradicting info:
"The Open Font License is incompatible with the GPL due to its strong copyleft. Even if it did not have a strong copyleft, it would still be GPL-incompatible due to its restrictions on the Reserved Font Names and selling the fonts, which are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10 of the GPL." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIL_Open_Font_License
Would really like to have another GPL font besides Genericons for use in WordPress themes.

Sorry found better list, so for some reason WP holds SIL GPL compatible:
