Hello,

Before your ticket is assigned to one of my colleagues, please allow me to walk you through some initial debugging steps. This will help speed up the support process.

In order to change the Arabic font to Cairo, you will need to do the following:

- Check with your theme author and ask where the font declaration are made, in most cases, this is done in the body, html, p, div, span

- Now using custom css add the font only for Arabic, hidden link

an example will be

body:lang(ar),
html:lang(ar),
p:lang(ar)
div:lang(ar), 
span:lang(ar),
a:lang(ar) {
font-family: 'cairo', sans-serif;
}

You can add this CSS in the child theme or in WPML->Languages->Language Switcher options->Additional CSS.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks
