Hello,
I'm trying to draw flowcharts with XeLaTex and TikZ, but I have errors
at compilation when I also use Polyglossia with some parameters.
When I try to use turkish, arabic or hebrew as main language, compile
process fails (I've the error "missing } inserted"),
but when I use english or greek as main language, I've no problem.
these are 2 samples:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%% first sample with arabic as default language; doesn't compile
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\usepackage[quiet]{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{arabic}
\setotherlanguage{english}
\setromanfont[Scale=1.1]{Times New Roman}
\defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase}
\setmonofont{Arial}
\setsansfont{Courier New}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic]{Times New Roman}
\begin{document}
a first TikZ image that always compiles
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) -- (1,1) -- (2,-2) -- (0,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
another TikZ image that always compiles sometimes
\tikzstyle{block} = [rectangle, draw, fill=blue!20, text width=5em, text
centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em]
\tikzstyle{line} = [draw, -latex']
\begin{tikzpicture}[node distance = 2cm, auto]
% Place nodes
\node [block] (init) {initialize model};
\node [block, below of=init] (identify) {identify candidate models};
% Draw edges
\path [line] (init) -- (identify);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%% another sample with english as default language; it can be compiled
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}

Do you know what's wrong with my code?
Thanks
Hadi
