I am writing to address a significant issue regarding the recent update to the Dhivehi Noto Sans Thaana font. Unfortunately, the current version of the font does not meet the established standards for professional documents and deviates from the proper representation of the Dhivehi language.

The updated font styles are highly unconventional and do not align with the traditional and official use of Dhivehi script. This is a departure from previous versions of Dhivehi Noto Thaana Sans, which were more aligned with the official standards and the government’s preferred font for formal communication.

In particular, the official font used in government documents and standard letters is Faruma. The current iteration of Dhivehi Noto Sans does not replicate this standard, which is critical for maintaining consistency and professionalism in our documents.

Given that we rely on Google Docs for writing in Thaana and this is the only available font for us, the recent changes render the font practically unusable for our needs. Therefore, I kindly urge you to revert to the previous version of the Dhivehi Noto Sans Thaana font or to make the necessary adjustments to better align it with the Faruma font and official standards.
