Missing common proprietary Arabic fonts make some PDF documents unreadable

Originally created by @mercedes508 on #13473 (Redmine)

Reported by a user, Tails, but in fact many Linux OS are missing some Arabic fonts, making unreadable documents like pdfs (e.g. http://175.45.176.67/ar/book/download.php?4+4002).

While it looks like it’s un upstream issue, I feel like it wouldn’t be enough to just ask upstream to fix it, when it might be a more sensitive issue for Tails.

Then we have basically two options I can think of:

  • adding those fonts to Tails
  • telling people they have to use .dotfiles feature.
