  • Re: Default Arabic Font change proposal

    From Peter B@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 27 14:20:01 2024
    Hello,

    I am not exactly sure if this is the right way to do it. If not, I hope
    you notify me.

    I wanted to raise the issue with the default Arabic font that is used. I
    don't know if it was selected at random or if there is a reason. It's a
    weird font that's not usually used and it's not easy on the eyes (not as aesthetically appealing as well).
    I would suggest using something like Noto Naskh <https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Naskh+Arabic>.

    This isn't only my own opinion, but there are more people who have
    raised the same issue. Examples:

    1) https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/proposal-for-arabic-font-improvement-switch-from-noto-sans-arabic-to-noto-nask-arabic/85033

    2) https://mmbesar.github.io/Tutorials/Best-Arabic-Font-in-Linux/


    Best regards,
    Mohamed Aboelenein

    Hi Mohamed,

    debian-vote is not the right list for this suggestion. (cc'ing debian-boot) Assuming you refer to the font chosen by the installer,
    I recommend submitting an installation report.

    Regards,
