Adding Persian (Farsi) web-fonts. Please see my comment on the MediaWiki/Special:Version on this commit Comment: This revision adds the free font DeJaVuSans as well as the EOT version of it to be used on Persian wikis. Conversion to EOT needs to be done with special tools, because the majority of convertors break the Persian fonts. I have not yet been able to create a WOFF version of the same font. The DeJaVuSans comes with many Linux distros (including Ubuntu which I'm using). It is a rather large font (~600KB) but all convertors that compress this font break it (in terms of showing RTL Persian text correctly). Nevertheless, it is currently used in major Persian wikis as the default font for non-Windows machines. For Windows machines, Tahoma is used as default; regarding the looks and feel of Persian letters, DeJaVuSans and Tahoma are very close. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
