Hi,

Is there a way to assign a different font for Arabic/Persian in memoQ? The Apperance tab in Options window has no Arabic script inside unlike many other ones. Due to this you are bound with a font that supports it as a default one.
P.S. Calibri would have been a nice choice but it does not support italic for Arabic.

Can you name a font that works for you well (supports italic, etc.)?

If you don't know the specific font name, try this site: https://fonts-online.ru/languages/arabic
Select a font you like (for example Amiri supports italic), download it, then copy and paste the font file (*.ttf or *otf) into this path: C:\Windows\Fonts
Start memoQ and select the newly added font.

Yes, thanks! It looks like choosing a default font which supports Arabic is the only solution. Perhaps, Kilgray will add this script as an option as well later.
