@Gerges Can you add these two fonts instead of the previous one:

version: 2.012

ULS is not a generic web fonts repository. The goal is to add webfonts for reading where there is a lack of good support in operating systems. Arabic already has one web font available.

The Amiri font, currently in "ULS", is only used for quotes and poems, users are looking for an alternative font for reading, instead of the default font "Arial", which has some display issues.
