Hello everyone,
I haven't received much feedback on this so we're going
with DejaVu-Sans for Arabic.
I've setup a section on the Write wiki where people can fill in the best
font for their Language.
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Write#Description_.26_Goals
Look in the section under "Localization".
Please folks, fill in your font for your Language.
Thanks!
Martin
