The weirdness was most visible when compared with the dejavu screenshots, which, for some reason Davide did not add... http://www.webalice.it/zinosat/shots/mm_dejavu24_10pt.png http://www.webalice.it/zinosat/shots/mm_dejavu24_11pt.png Compare the dejavu 11 pt and the freefont 12 pt screenshots: arabic in the freefont screenshot is _smaller_ than in the dejavu screenshot, even though it is the same font [1] and the default point size with freefont is _larger_. [1] At least it is supposed to be and very much looks the same. P.S. The reason that we currently don't like Dejavu very much for a default font is that it has extremely bad kerning in some places. Examples are "Tr" in Traditional Chinese and "Fr" in French.
