I tried to use lyx to type my Arabic docs. I managed to do it with arabtex. This is my file after exporting to LaTeX:
----------------- %% LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/. %% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing. \documentclass[a4paper,english]{article} \usepackage{times} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \makeatletter \usepackage{arabtex,iso88596}\setcode{iso8859-6} \makeatother \begin{document} \begin{arabtex} djcf \end{arabtex} \end{document} ------------------------ But I don't see the translation method as convenient. I would like to use babel, omega, labmda or whatever that supports writing in Arabic. Would you please help me to do it. I will appreciate it a lot. My preference file contains: ------------------------------------------- # MISC SECTION ###################################### # \kbmap true \kbmap_primary "null" \kbmap_secondary "arabic" # # SCREEN & FONTS SECTION ############################ # \popup_font_encoding "iso8859-1" \screen_font_roman "Tahoma" \screen_font_roman_foundry "Xft" \screen_font_sans "Arial Unicode Ms" \screen_font_typewriter "Courier" \screen_font_typewriter_foundry "Xft" \screen_font_encoding "iso8859-6" # # LANGUAGE SUPPORT SECTION ########################## # \language_package "\usepackage{arabtex,iso88596}\setcode{iso8859-6}" \language_use_babel "false" \language_command_begin "\begin{arabtex}" \language_command_end "\end{arabtex}" \language_auto_begin false \language_auto_end false ----------------------------------------- -- Munzir Taha, Microsoft Office User Specialist, (MOUS), Certified Internet Webmaster, (CIW), New Horizons Computer Learning Centers, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
