[Bf-translations-dev] Updated default font

[Amin Babaiepanah]

The extra characters are like the existing ones with minor difference. For
example the extra character "ژ" is like the existing character "ز" with two
extra dots...

Let me know where I can get the old Arabic font. I might be able to add
them. :D

Best regards,
Amin Babaeipanah
