2. I have to use Gentium Plus or Charis SL. When using one of those, or any
other Font except Times
New Roman or Arial (I think these are the standard fonts...), an error occures.
I think you can
reproduce this with switching to any font which is not standard windows font. I
just changed the
font to VERDANA. Please have a look into it...
Maybe your fonts don't cover the Arabic script.
Yes, this is the case. I just installed Gentium Plus from here:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=gentium_download&_sc=1
But as stated in
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=Gentium&_sc=1
Gentium Plus only contains the Greek, Latin and Cyrillic script.
Charis SL also doesn't contain Arabic:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=CharisSIL&_sc=1
So you need to use in the document settings a font that contains the Arabic script. These are the
fonts that do this on my Windows machine:
Andalus (roman)
Arabic Transparent (sansserif)
Arial (sansserif)
Courier New (typewriter)
FreeSerifKoptosMS (roman)
Microsoft Sansserif (sansserif)
Simplified Arabic (sansserif)
Simplified Arabic Fixed (typewriter)
Tahoma (sansserif)
Times New Roman (roman)
Traditional Arabic (roman)
As your document contains German, you need a font that also contains German umlauts, and then I can
only choose one of these:
Arial (sansserif)
Courier New (typewriter)
Tahoma (sansserif)
Times New Roman (roman)
If you prefer a font from the SIL, have a look at
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=SILFontList&_sc=1
Lateef and Scheherazade are fonts you can use because they contain German
Umlauts as well.
