I thought Google Fonts has Farsi fonts as well.
Is this what you're looking for? https://fonts.google.com/?subset=arabic
No, I Farsi fonts are a little different

#43"Your browser is not currently supported. Google Fonts works best on Chrome, Firefox, or Safari."
Google still treating Edge users like trash, I see[0]. Microsoft Edge works fine for the vast majority of websites, and a block like this telling you to get a different browser is incredibly painful. If you tell me I need a different browser, I'm going to find a different company or website to do business with.
[0]Gmail pesters Edge users weekly to switch to Chrome. Unlike other browsers, where pressing 'not interested' causes it to go away permanently, it returns weekly like a bad rash.

Would you much rather it load 500 different web fonts on page load and take 50 years to load?
Pagination.
I found the non-paginated version to be very responsive and quick. Personally, I prefer non paginated results as long as they're quick, and some user testing studies indicate this as well[1]. UX folks seem to prefer not to paginate[2]. Who loves pagination? Usually advertisers.

Re: Google Fonts Redesigned
#46This redesign is awesome, but I think it might have killed my side project.
I’ve been working on a site that offers google fonts with better visuals and search by font feature (x-height, stroke contrast, etc) functionality.
Sunk 30+ hours into it designing + coding up the front end while my friend works on programmatically tagging the font on the backend.
I want to continue working on my project, but it now feels a lot less relevant. Any advice, HN?

Re: Google Fonts Redesigned
#47Minor criticism: the characters preview is a bit of a mess. Two issues:
1) You're missing important non-ASCII characters which I know are in some of these fonts (such as Open Sans). These include German and Scandinavian characters like ü ä ö æ ø å ß (maybe more).
2) The ordering is non-standard and makes it hard to see what is actually there and not.

Farsi has four additional letters: : پ [p], چ [t͡ʃ], ژ [ʒ], and گ [ɡ].
I copied those characters into the site, and it looks like they're supported by all but one family. Give it a shot.

It's not just Edge users, I get the same constant annoyances with Firefox.

#50Looks great in Chrome, completely broken in Firefox: https://i.imgur.com/XRMgcHp.png .
No one tests on firefox anymore, is sad how firefox is being ignored more and more everyday.
This is a Google-specific problem. YouTube Gaming launched only working on Chrome as well. One of Google's web UI frameworks wrapped text by breaking words of any size mid-letter, if you weren't on Chrome for a while. (It would cut "the" if it felt like it during a word wrap.)
My browser, Edge, is simply blocked on Google Fonts.
It seems like Google is more and more dependent on automated testing for all if it's deployments, perhaps since everyone internally uses Chrome, nobody notices when those tests are lacking on other browsers. Google would do well to reintroduce "humans" into their development process, and maybe open their new websites once in each major browser before they push a release.
