Arabic script is not supported #9

Closed Forpetesake2 closed 2 years ago

Arabic fonts are not supported and lead to rectangles being shown.

We should check whether the current font supports Arabic. If this isn't the case a more inclusive font should be used. Alternatively the font should be chosen based on the script used.

After a few tests it appears adding a fallback font is sufficient to support the Arabic script. This will likely have to be repeated for any other yet unsupported scripts in the future.
