Comment (by sigma4111):
Hi. I tried so many Arabic fonts in previous hrs.
Unfortuantly, I think that we can not fix this issue. The cause is the
following: there are so many Arabic fonts (1000s) but unfortuantly most of
them are decorated ! This mean that most of them are useless to our issue
because they make it more un-approperiat. Also, the convenent Arabic fonts
that can make display of site O.K are the following:
- Arial (default fonts used by site itself = it's real font)
- Time new roman
- Arabic transparent
- Simplified Arabic
All of above 4 fonts are not free in terms that needed so as to be
included in Tor !!
In this case no thing we can do !
Hewever, furtuantly, it is just cosmatic issue ....
I would like, at end of this tickt, to say:
1) thank you Tor browser team for introducing this project (Tor browser),
2) thank you Tails OS team 4 times (not single time), because indeed Tor
browser alone is useless in dealing with such e-library site that all it's
books are posted as PDF files that are impossible to be downloaded over
Tor network by using Tor browser outside Tails OS...
