Assalamou alaykoum wa rahamatou Allah wa barakatouh,

I would like to know what is the best font to use to write in both language : Arabic and European languages (like English or French)?

I tried 'Time New Roman' and it is pretty good ma cha Allah, but the Arabic letters are very small while the translation is very big.

Is there any other suggestions?

I ask this question because when i use my CAT tool to translate, the translation comes out with the same font that the original document.

I suppose that i am not the only one who face the same problem.

Wassalam
Oum Ayoub
