Arabic Google web fonts (Droid Arabic Naskh & Kufi) are not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

It's been several days since Arabic Google web fonts

* Droid Arabic Naskh
* Droid Arabic Kufi

haven't been working.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Embed the CSS importer in your page:

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Arabic+Naskh);
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Arabic+Kufi);

Set the style:
body {
  font-family: 'Droid Arabic Naskh', sans-serif;
}

Write something in Arabic / Persian inside the HTML:

<p>مثال</p>
<p>نمونه</p>

Now display the web page in a web-font-supporting browser.

Sample pages that already did that:

http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/droid-arabic-naskh
http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/droid-arabic-kufi

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The chosen Google Arabic typeface is expected.
The browser's default font will be displayed instead.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

iOS * Safari | Chrome
Mac OS * Safari
Windows * Safari | Chrome | IE

Please provide any additional information below.

The root of the problem is

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Arabic+Naskh

returns a CSS file, inside the CSS, you can see:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Droid Arabic Naskh';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: local('Droid Arabic Naskh'), local('DroidArabicNaskh'), url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/droidarabicnaskh/v6/DoPHb5-mRxBWLB7ak7r4l3qw9guB1wYJWBG7JD1o6Vs.woff) format('woff');
}

The problem is the URL

http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/droidarabicnaskh/v6/DoPHb5-mRxB
WLB7ak7r4l3qw9guB1wYJWBG7JD1o6Vs.woff

returns HTTP 404.

Thanks,
Komeil Bahmanpour

This font is only officially available from Google Fonts Early Access:

http://www.google.com/fonts/earlyaccess

Use this CSS URL instead:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/earlyaccess/droidarabicnaskh.css
