I've got a weird #TeXLaTeΧ question and I'm curious if #AskFedi can help: I want to typeset #Persian text, but when I try to load #farsi with #babel, I get an "There is no ini file for the requested language" message. The babel GitHub repo has babel-fa.ini, and it's in texlive-latex-base, but I can't find a way to install it into my minimal system with tlmgr, since CTAN has no babel-farsi or babel-persian package. Any ideas?
