Hi

After the latest upgrade, in Atto Editor in RTL version of my moodle which is in Farsi language, when I use ordered list  I am getting English numbers. I want to have Farsi numbers instead of as we used to have Farsi numbers before too. But somehow after the upgrade, it is not giving us the Farsi numbers. (۱ ۲ ۳ ۴ ۵ ۶ ۷ ۸ ۹ )‌

I am using XM Yekan which is a Farsi Font and it has the Farsi Numbers too but still no chance.

Hello Reza,

The Atto editor plugin creates an ordered with the standard HTML tags <ol><li>. It does not control how it is displayed. That is set with the theme (font). I would assume that something is different there with the way previous site was configured.

Is it possible that it was using something other that XM Yekan for that, which renders Latin numbers in Farsi. What versions did you upgrade from/to? did you change the theme?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply. I have upgraded from 3.5 to 3.9 and due to incompatibility of our previous theme (essential) with the latest version of Moodle, I had to change our theme too. We are now using Lambda theme.
Regarding the Font, I checked the Essential Font Setting before our upgrade and it was only using XM Yekan. So what I did was to use the same exact font for our new theme.

Do you think using another Farsi Font would help?

I found that it works to add some CSS.

ol {
    list-style-type: arabic-indic;
}

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-type. Some thing like this may have been included in you previous theme.
