A screenshot from a local dhivehi website and from wikipedia, see the font difference?

Dhivehi can only be written by Installing the files for East Asian Languages from your windows pc and by adding Dhivehi Phonetic Keyboard from Regional and Language in Control panel.

However, you can always view sites written in a default font named "MV_Boli". This font is not very popular among us. The letters are very small in size and look old/historic. Now, all the dhivehi sites use a font named "MV Ealaaf XP"

Hence, i would like to change the font face of the whole dv.wikipedia project.

Attached image shows the difference between the two fonts.

The font used in most dhivehi sites is not "MV Ealaaf XP", it should be "MV Eamaan XP"
My mistake

For future reference please MENTION the font in the bug summary to make it less generic.
