Tor Browser Arabic Fonts Issue !

Hi. can you help me kindly to resolve fonts issue with this site:

https://sites.google.com/site/arcommunistslibrary

This site in Arabic language. Please look to it in normal firefox browser (on Windows or Linux), then compare it with it's appearance in Tor (regullar Tor or Tor of Tails are same error).

On Tor, size of fonts are big (look for right sidebar navigation for example). Fonts of Arabic contents are not the original fonts !

How to solve this error ? I tried the following (but failed): "preferences", then "contents", then from "fonts & colors" selected "advanced" & set the following:

  • fonts for: Arabic
  • proportional: sans sarif
  • sarif: sans sarif
  • sans sarif: sansarif
  • monospace: monospace

then I tried (but also failed):

  • fonts for: Arabic
  • proportional: sans
  • sarif: sans
  • sans sarif: sans
  • monospace: monospace

then I tried (& also failed):

  • fonts for: Arabic
  • proportional: sans sarif
  • sarif: sans
  • sans sarif: san sarif
  • monospace: monospace

In all above cases, I had 2 subtrials: 1st with uncheck "allow pages to choose their owen fonts" box, & 2nd with check this box (after failure when uncheck it).

In all above trails, after set parameters, I restart Tor browser. All my effort failed !!

I contact their owners on their e-mail that existing on their site. They inform me that they use "Arial" as the default fonts for their site, & most content on their site are in "Arial".

Please, is their any fix for this issue ?

Best
