Hi, I couldn't find a way to stop the embedded fonts to be used on WikiData.
On Wiktionary, it was used for Arabic script, but I could stop it from the
preferences, but where to stop it here? I couldn't find the option to stop it
here. Arabic text is rendered with a very bad font against my will and I hate
it. My default fonts just render Arabic perfectly, why force us to see in that
embedded ugly illegible font without any way to stop it? Thanks. (An example)
Even after making a custom CSS, User:Mahmudmasri/vector.css, I wasn't able to
stop the Amiri embedded font :( --Mahmudmasri (talk) 10:47, 27 February 2013

Click the language icon at the very top of the page, and click "display
settings" at the bottom. Then turn off the "download font when needed" box.
This, that and the other (talk) 11:06, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. It needs to be off by default. Arabic displays perfectly with ordinary
fonts. If it's not broken, it shouldn't be fixed. Additionally that font
displays Arabic characters folded on each other. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 12:51, 27

Do we hardcode fonts anywhere? I think this is the ULS and some setting there?
