Comment (by khassounah):

 Replying to [comment:8 marco]:
 > Fedora is already distributing the Kacst fonts. KacstQura is used as
 default for both serif and sans-serif. There seem to be no arabic font
 configured for monospace.
 > If using Kacst works that would make things easier.

 Yes, but I would recommend we use the following fonts instead:

 Sans-Serif: KacstQurn (I would have preferred KacstOne, but it's not
 working)
 Serif: KacstBook
 Monospace: KacstDigital
 Script: KacstQurn
 Fantasy: KacstDecorative (preferred) or KacstArt

 It is easiest to use about:config to experiment, but to manually edit your
 preferences append the following to your ~/.sugar/default/gecko/prefs.js

 user_pref("font.name.cursive.ar", "KacstQurn");
 user_pref("font.name.fantasy.ar", "KacstDecorative");
 user_pref("font.name.monospave.ar", "KacstDigital");
 user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.ar", "KacstQurn");
 user_pref("font.name.serif.ar", "KacstBook");

 Book is really the most beautiful font, I hope it wasn't so hard to read
 on a screen. Maybe I should see how it looks on the LCD when I'm in
 Cambridge tomorrow.
