Hi,<br>
<br>
I’ve tried to get an enhanced version of that font, with quite
mitigated success... Nepali (i.e. devanagari) is quite easy, but
adding the missing persian glyphs is very tricky.<br>
<br>
Finally, I did the following:<br>
* Base font: my Debian DejaVuSans.ttf<br>
* Merged into: current Blender’s "droidsans.ttf" (which already
contains many dejavu stuff…).<br>
* Merged into and scaled up 250%: samyak-devanagari.ttf<br>
<br>
Now I have that:<br>
* Arabic: <a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21210" target="_blank">http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21210</a> (left: old, right: new)<br>
* Persian: <a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21212" target="_blank">http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21212</a> (left: old, right: new)<br>
* Nepali: <a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21211" target="_blank">http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21211</a><br>
<br>
I fear arabic DejaVuSans is somewhat smaller that Droid one… but
more complete, and we can’t mix both fonts in a same script
(arabic), it would be far too messy imho…<br>
<br>
Waiting for your comments!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Bastien<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was reported that there are some issues with Persian
language. Tried to resolve this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Well, at least ugly squares gone away, but now this glyphs
are used from DejavySans font instead of DroidSans and they're
looking a bit differ here. Unfortunately, i've got no idea if
they are easy to read, so can somebody confirm that it's
readable?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also Nepali support should been added, can somebody test this
too?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One more thing to test: font shouldn't have any noticeable
difference from default font with English interface.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Here's link to new font: <a href="http://download.blender.org/ftp/incoming/droidsans.ttf.gz" target="_blank">http://download.blender.org/ftp/incoming/droidsans.ttf.gz</a></div>
