Aug 15, 2009 4:35pm Alireza User	Hi Thanks for your really nice script. I love it ! I want your help. I want this style to show persian (only persian, not english) texts (twitts) in Tahoma font with 12 pixel size. I added the bellow code to end of script code: GM_addStyle("body { font-family:tahoma; font-size:6px; }"); but it affects english twitts, too. I want it to affect only on persian twitts. What i must add to the code? Thanks for yur helping! Alireza

I'm not aware of a way to really apply language-specific styles without explicitly marking the language, using the `lang` XHTML attribute and css pseudo class. A simple workaround would be to change the style of each tweet which is changed to RTL, i.e adding: tweets[i].style.fontFamily="tahoma"; tweets[i].style.fontSize="12px"; right after the `tweets[i].style.display="block";` line (in the same block). This, however, will change the style of all characters in this tweet (including English ones). Using Firefox's preferences window (Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Fonts and Colors -> Advances) you can also define language specific font families and sizes, and prevent web pages from changing those selections. However, these settings apply for all websites, not just twitter. I hope that helps, somehow... :)
