adn was kind enough to provide the logs:
06:12 < eddyp> sbahra: can you take a look at
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-frontend/font-snapshots/ttf-nazli-060121/arabic/
? they probably are broken for arabic (using nazli)
06:12 <@sbahra> they are fine
06:13 <@sbahra> but definitely not the font to use
06:13 <@sbahra> They're kind of obscure
06:17 < eddyp> probably because they are the bold ones, maybe?
06:19 <@sbahra> ye
06:20 < eddyp> ok
06:20 < eddyp> thanks for the help
06:20 < eddyp> sbahra: but if we decide to use nazli for arabic, too,
is that ok? (not the bold ones)
06:21 < eddyp> so we can have only one font, both for persian and arabic?!
06:25 <@sbahra> Yes
06:25 <@sbahra> If larger a bit
I guess is clear that the statment was done related to broken
screenshots. I guess we can forget that now.
