I've implemented a much better formatnum today. the administrators still need to install the needed locales however...english should work pretty good.

locales have been installed.

our code may still choose the wrong locale, i.e. it uses it_CH-UTF-8 for it.wikipedia.org, since it_IT isn't available. strictly speaking I don't know which locale to use based on the language. the code is guessing and using what's available.

for fa.wiki it doesn't change still it is not working

Can you tell me exactly what's the input, what's the output mediawiki produces, and what's produced in the pdf? ASCII characters only please.

in http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Reza1615/pdf2
the 3th & 4th lines
{{formatnum:{{formatnum:۱۲۳۴|R}}}} =۱٬۲۳۴
{{formatnum:1234}}=۱٬۲۳۴

pdf export should render ۱٬۲۳۴ or 1٬234 (if it doesn't support Persian number at least it should show ٬)

but now it renders 1234

Someone reported this problem on English Wikipedia village pump (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29&oldid=537991822#Insidious_problem_with_pdf_rendering), along with a work-around (moving a period outside formatnum).

Thanks for new version

To clarify, did you test the output of the new renderer and verify this bug was fixed?
