Suggestion for Persian Font Improvement
Hello,
Your work is outstanding. I have used the web version of Khoj and I would like to suggest changing the Persian font. The current font is not very legible, and there are many issues with the letters being improperly placed next to each other in words. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this. Wishing you success.
Hi @Wnb369 ! Thanks for raising this issue. It's really important to us to make sure we're localizing appropriately. Can you confirm that your experience is similar to something in this screenshot? We might need your help in validating whether our solutions work for you as I don't understand Persian/Farsi myself, but I can read/write Urdu, so I can approximately get there 🙂.
Ordinarily it would be easiest if we could just use a different css class for the Persian/Arabic/Urdu fonts, but we won't be able to do that in a hard-coded way. We'll probably have to infer dynamically, with something like this.
The problem that exists is that in some words, the letters are displayed separately from each other. As is clear in the picture you sent, there are many connected letters that are displayed separately. I will mark those and also show their correct spelling in another picture so that you can understand better.
This issue exists only in Persian and Urdu.
You can use Persian-specific fonts like "IranNastaliq" or "Vazir". Adjust Font Size and Spacing. Test with Native Speakers. Specify the new font and provide fallbacks in the CSS. Consider using services like Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts.
