hi,I can't help you with the Arabic side, but I have a general guide to fonts in LyX at www.bilkent.edu.tr/~robin/lyxfonts2.lyx This has advice on installing fonts in TeX and using different fonts within the same document.
i am working on a college paper, and i need to add some arabic words to my text. the rest of the doc is in normal latin15. (EU)
i really would like to RTFM but i don't know where to start.
do i need to
- install the fonts (which arabic fonts are there?) to my system (RH7.3) - or intsall them to my X server ? - and how to just use them for a couple of words in lyx and not the whole document ? - and the printing isn't handled by lyx anyway so do i need to tell tex to use these to get the right dvi/ps?
i have used xfontsel to check my fonts. i found sth. like " -arabic-*-*-*- .... " . i don't if taht helps? help would very appreciated.
