Persian (arabic text) is unreadable in the current font

See original GitHub issue

From Freshdesk:

Thanks for your great job. The Scratch font in offline editor and also in online editor is unreadable,Unpleasant and unfamiliar for > Persian(Farsi) users and maybe Arabic users.

I suggest to change it with these fonts: Calibri , Segoe UI or tahoma

I’ve asked for more details, but from the suggestions I would assume they’re on Windows. It’s possible to add an override for the font-family based on the lang property, but maybe there is another Windows font that should be ahead of Arial for everyone.

We should probably look at all of the non-latin languages on Windows to check readability.
