Each font comes in 2 weights: regular and bold. The English font prints on English letters, and the Arabic font on Arabic letters, on the same line.
Every font in the document is embedded inside the PDF file, so it prints as you see it on any device.
Formatting you apply by hand to a piece of text takes priority over the style.

A real example
Basma Clinics
The situation
Each employee changed heading sizes by hand, so the reports looked different.
What they did
- The Modern style, with Almarai for Arabic and Inter for English.
- Heading 1 at size 20, in the clinic’s color.
The result
Every report has the same identity, with no manual formatting.
A made-up company, to show the idea. The numbers are rounded.
Good to know
Font size is between 6 and 72 pt.
Line spacing is between 1 and 3.
Spacing before and after text is between 0 and 72 pt.
The weight is regular (400) or bold (700) only.
Fonts come from the list above only.
