Hm, ok - do we have suitable Farsi font currently in Fedora?
Presumably dejavu-fonts will eventually obsolete dejavu-lgc-fonts?

Right, so from that point of view it would be nice to default to the 
full font and there is not much difference in terms of size.

Sounds like a good idea.  Fedora I18n could help with that specially for 
Asian fonts.  Is there a good place on the wiki to put a reminder to do 
that during each release test cycle?  In checklist under RelEng perhaps?
