That would be my fault...
On the last night I spent analysing fonts at Extremadura I did the following:
- booted the official image (+vt2 fix) at the time (built by Frans then)
- got some screenshots and then realised from the reports that many
glyphs were present in more than one font and, thus I couldn't
certainly say which font is which
- removed all _arabic_ fonts (ae_Mohanad.ttf) and took the screenshots
at [1] (_believing_ that they were all using nazli)
- realized that they were not and started making screenshots[2] after
removing _all_ fonts but the one I was trying to test
Unfortunately, I didn't had time to make screenshots for arabic and
persian in the same manner, but only for indic scripts.
Please accept my appologies for not stating clearly what happening in
a detailed mail message.
