Title:
  Freeserif Arabic version is broken

Status in ttf-freefont package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ttf-freefont

  the freeserif font has many issues.

  1.there is gabs between letters that should be joined
  2.too thin
  3.smaller than other font with the same size
  4.big difference from the English version
  5.more like an art of work font than a general reading font

  the font being used as a default in Firefox raised a problem for many non-latin users
