Description (last modified by iamtakashi)

Feedback from yoav on fonts in RTL.

fonts don't look too good in Hebrew on Windows, and I assume this might be a problem in arabic/farsi too. The mac substitute for a serif font is OK, but horrible on windows. Too late to fix?

We could change it in all RTL to something more universal.

I've added Tahoma as the second choice in 30752.1.diff. This is how it was done in Twenty Ten.
