This font is too curved that make it almost impossible to read and make eyes tired after reading just one or two lines, It's not a formal font like Yaghout, Nazanin or so many others, It's very Arabic and doesn't have Persian theme in it and this makes Persians to hate it if you use it in a Persian text, > > "Iranian Sans" is a good font but has certain problems in showing some > > letters in Windows > > If I want to give you an example, in this font words like "Peer" and > > "Pepper" > > looks same which are obviously different and means different too, > > Thanks! More examples would also be welcome (and pasting the words in Farsi > here, if possible) but only if you have time - it helps evaluating how useful > the font still is. "پپر" and "پیر" in this font looks same (the third dot is not shown) and because in Persian (and other similar languages like Hebrew or Arabic) we don't write vowels unless it's amibgous, this simple bug causes lots confusements and misunderstandings, has some other problems like showing "سی" incorreclty (if you count there is three short rod (I don't know what is correct word for this) but it is shown two rods). "چی" is shown with two dots instead of three. > I found http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Iranian_fonts with some info about > "Iranian Sans" but I'm still curious where we could report issues like the > one > you mention (this is not a question to anybody, just a note to myself). :-/ If we can change it and submit it to you, we have people to work on font (Thanks Reza) and we don't need to wait for creator. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
