Thread:Talk:Universal Language Selector/The new Persian and Arabic Fonts

Hello,

Many other users and I have been having trouble with the recent changes to the Arabic and Persian fonts that have been made system-wide now. This issue affects many people.

Arabic Amiri -

The problem with this font is that it is simply too hard to read, and is better suited for Qur'an verses rather than an official encyclopedia like Wikipedia. It also bogs down on system resources, because it has to load the default Arabic font, and THEN the Amiri font, which can take up to a minute depending on article length. Minimum time I have experienced on Chrome latest version quad core processor is 5 seconds, but that is the bare minimum (as in, an article maybe about an Arab person and the name transliterations having to load)

Persian (unknown font) -

This new font is okay, it is MUCH more readable than Amiri, but not better than the previous one, which was clean and easy-to-read. Again, though, it BOGS down on my system as well as many others.

Please bring back the old fonts, or make these new fonts optional and make the old ones default. For all of the Middle Eastern community on here, thank you. We would very much appreciate it.
