Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. You will need some CSS code to do that. Example: html[lang="fa-IR"] { font-family: Alef !important; font-size: 24px !Important; } The code needs to be added in the Appearance > Customizer > Custom CSS area. Depending on the font that you will use, you will have to change "Alef" to the font's family name. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there and welcome back. The issue here might be similar to the one in this other recent ticket that I had: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-to-make-different-font-for-two-languages/ There's a chance that the currently active theme or (at least one) of the active plugins is overwriting what you are adding in the custom CSS area. But the help that we can offer for this kind of issue is limited as it involves custom work and we can only guide people into the correct procedure. My recommendation is to hire a WPML contractor (https://wpml.org/contractors) or a developer. Mihai

shahrzadk	Dear Mihai, I want to express my appreciation for your time and response. While I encountered an issue with the Avada theme's support, I found that the problem had a different cause than initially suggested. I was somewhat disappointed with the assistance received, as it appeared to be a generic response that didn't address my specific issue. In my case, a simple solution was possible without any coding or custom work, but I was directed to a contractor recommendation and another discussion link with a similar response. I understand that you may be dealing with a heavy workload, but I had hoped for a more personalised and effective support experience from WPML. Thank you for your attention.
