Hi Yousef,<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, no, Persian is one of the language supported by the
arabic unicode script. It shares most of its glyphs with "regular"
arabic, and just has a few specificities... which aren’t currently
supported by droidsans. And as said, mixing existing droid glyphs
with dejavu for missing ones is just ugly, and source of endless
problems... I found no other arabic ttf font suitable, but if you
have a nice an complete one in mind, I could try to incorporate it.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Bastien<br>

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 moz-do-not-send="true"
class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21210" target="_blank">http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21210</a>

* Persian: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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>

all,
<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 moz-do-not-send="true"
