Hi,
By every definition of design, Tahoma, Arial, Times New Roman and other
default fonts are horrible in Persian (Farsi) script and can't be read
properly.
There is this fantastic font called [https://github.com/rastikerdar/vazir-
font Vazir] which has become the industry standard in open-source fonts.
Should we fix this in Django admin? How?
Should it be like this:
{{{#!css
html[lang='fa-IR']{
font-family: 'Vazir', tahoma, Arial !important;
}
html[lang='fa-IR'] code,
html[lang='fa-IR'] pre,
html[lang='fa-IR'] kbd{
font-family: 'Vazir-code', "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", Monaco,
"Courier New", Courier, monospace; // Vazir-Code is a monospace font based
on Vazir
}
}}}
And have a @font-face block before it or a {{{<link>}}} in HTML?
I'm looking for an approach that considers performance, font load time,
multilingual.
Or even more options for the future. Maybe even a SETTING variable which
people could easily load a font for their admin, regardless of language.
