[Bf-translations-dev] Updated default font

[Bastien Montagne]

Hi,

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.

Finally, I did the following:
* Base font: my Debian DejaVuSans.ttf
* Merged into: current Blender’s "droidsans.ttf" (which already contains 
many dejavu stuff…).
* Merged into and scaled up 250%: samyak-devanagari.ttf

Now I have that:
* Arabic: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21210 (left: old, right: new)
* Persian: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21212 (left: old, right: new)
* Nepali: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/21211

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…

Waiting for your comments!

Best regards,
Bastien
