Behdad complained than making DejaVu first choice in Sans/Serif/Monospace aliases would make life miserable for farsiweb users, since DejaVu has a growing arabic block. So I spent quite a long time finding how to create a subpackage that when installed would replace the arabic block of DejaVu by that of another font (using fontconfig magic). Only to find out that a yum search farsiweb on FC/FE repos returns no hits. On hindsight, Farsi speakers probably systematically make FarsiWeb fonts their defaults (I don't know where they download their fonts from), so maybe I shouldn't have bothered with this. > BTW, I am a co-founder of FarsiWeb, which is a project with a goal of > better support for Persian and other languages of Iran in software and > standards.

BTW at some point in time after doing arabic for arab countries DejaVu will probably do Arabic for Farsi, so if FarsiWeb people want to be involved either as glyph authors or as glyph reviewers they are welcome. If DejaVu has strong cyrillic and greek blocks that's because the greek and cyrillic communities got involved at one point. The blocks weren't born perfect.
