Description : A free sans font for Persian and Arabic
(vazir is a free and open source font, designed by saber rastikerdar
and many other people for persian and arabic language.
.
The first version of Vazir was based on DejaVu 2.35 (was committed
to the public domain) to begin designing and developing this new typeface.
.
Non-Arabic (Latin) glyphs and data are imported from Roboto font
(version 2.137; 2017) under the Apache License, Version 2.0.)
Hi. This is a free font for Persian as well as Arabic. This precedent is very
popular among Persian speakers. People now have to go to the GitHub repository
to use it and download it, which takes some time and no longer updates. I
thought of adding it to the Debian and Ubuntu repositories to make it easier to
install and update.
There are also several other free fonts that I want to add after adding this
font.
This is my first package for Debian, and I may make a lot of mistakes. I have
not raised the issue in my forum yet, but if I can add this font and learn how
to add it, I will definitely get help from others to contribute and improve it.
Because I think after asking for help, they say: When you did not try to do
this yourself, why do you think we will do it for you?
