This is getting ridiculous

OK, and now Opera renders my page in Times New Roman because that's what I picked for Arabic?

Now this is getting ridiculous.

Plus, Arabic is one language where I'm not prepared to fall back to "Auto", at least not while "Auto" is FreeSerif and FreeSerif doesn't do proper Arabic shaping for Persian letters; it's just not worth it for me.

So, off with his head. Buh-bye, FreeSerif.

( Various edits, in which I try to restore Opera to sanity. )
