@Tarobish the Latin punctuation and the Arabic dots (nukta?) look very different, being very round or very square:

Should one be changed to harmonize or is this a strong design intent?

For the Persian/Arabic the Latin punctuation could be like the one we have (it works better, more harmony with the rest of the characters) but if you think we have to change it, i’ll design something else what do you think? cc @EbenSorkin https://github.com/EbenSorkin

We can replace them according to the text-language, if that helps.

Latin punctuation shapes in this case is highly flexible. We can definitely adapt. :-)

Language/Script-specific glyphs for common punctuation is an option, but note that the selection often fails due to combinations of lack of proper text tagging, bad itemization due to incorrect bidi intervention or both.

What about this, can it be closed?

EbenSorkin commented 9 years ago

I was under the impression that Kourosh was Ok with the punctuation now.
