[XeTeX] XeLaTeX and Arabic text in Footnotes

2010-05-11 Thread Nathan Camillo Sidoli
Hello All, I am having a bit of a problem with Arabic text in footnotes. For some reason certain characters such as ^ _ etc, are being read as operators that call for a math environment, even though they are written within a \textarab environment. This problem can be "solved" by using the pa

[XeTeX] Long i with overbar and no dot

2010-05-11 Thread Nathan Camillo Sidoli
Hello All, Is there a good way to get a long i with an overbar and no dot that can be changed by the environment to agree with the text that it belongs to. I am using \={\i} at the moment, but this seems to call in a special character which cannot be modified. That is, it cannot be bold, ital

OK, but is there a solution for people who are using a fair bit of math and imputing Arabic with ASCI input? Philiрp Rеichmuth wrote: Am Wed, 12 May 2010 06:46:36 +0200 schrieb Tilman Hannemann: I have encountered a similar problem before. It should be solved by putting \catcode`_=11 \

For some reason, this is only happening within footnotes. Within the footnote, even changing the catcodes inside a group is not working. Khaled Hosny wrote: On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 02:19:13PM +0900, Nathan Camillo Sidoli wrote: OK, but is there a solution for people who are using a fair

[XeTeX] Package conflict

2011-06-11 Thread Nathan Camillo Sidoli
There seems to be a conflict with the loading order of packages mathspec and arabxetex, which both require amsmath. The mathspec package will ask for amsmath to be loaded first, but the arabxetex will load amsmath because it needs the \overline macro. The mathspec package must be loaded first

Hello All, I finally upgraded to TexLive 2012. I'm getting a few warnings, but I'm not sure if they are serious. I can't tell if there is any change in the final product. The first is: (/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/fixltx2e.sty) **

[XeTeX] Local changes to mathmode digits

2013-01-12 Thread Nathan Camillo Sidoli
Is there anyway to change the math mode digits for only certain parts of a text? I have some math in Arabic text in a largely English document. I would like to change the math mode digits in this parts to use Eastern Arabic digits, whereas the rest of the text will use standard Hindu-Arabic di

[XeTeX] Arabic fonts and line heights

2013-01-12 Thread Nathan Camillo Sidoli
This may not actually be a xetex question, but I suspect I may get a useful answer here. Is there someway I can more accurately control the line height when using an Arabic font? When I use certain Arabic fonts, such as Amiri, which stack a lot in certain situations, I get very mixed line heig

[XeTeX] Placement of tanwin for indefinite accusatives in Arabic, arabxetex

2015-04-24 Thread Nathan Camillo Sidoli
I have a question about the placement of tanwin for indefinite accusatives in arabxetex. (And a related question for Amiri font.) My understanding in that the preferred style in Arabic is that the tanwin should be placed over the final consonant, even if there is a final alif. This was the d
