r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity: == Why exclude hebrew and arabic proportional reference fonts? == A. Reference Fonts https://www.w3.org/TR/ttml-imsc1.0.1/#reference-fonts > proportionalSansSerif > All code points specified in B. Recommended Character Sets, excluding the code points defined for Hebrew and Arabic scripts. > Arial or Helvetica or Liberation Sans Why are codepoints for `hebr` and `arab` excluded from the proportional font list? Actually, monospaced fonts are particularly problematic for arabic script text, since it creates an appearance of baseline stretching between narrow glyphs, and can cause difficulty in rendering wide characters elegantly (such as س). **This is a tracker issue.
