Dear Vafa Khalighi,

Thank you very much for providing the link to this font. I have installed and tried it, and it seems to be very nice, but not complete, because the sequence "lam - ha' - gim - alif" seems not to work, as can be seen from the following example (the vertical row beneath the first sura):

Attachment: testneirizi.tex

The example of a text from the Coran - the first sura - does not come up to the requirements, because I have no idea how to access some special signs and characters necessary for typing Coranic texts (as it is for example provided - according to the manual - by arabxetex).

Dear Phillip Taylor,

I am also not a Muslim, but as far as I know there is no such thing like one Islamic law; I would suppose that the most Islamic scholars would not object if a non Muslim would type some Coranic text, if it is in an educational or scientific and not in a rediculing or disgracing context.


With best wishes and best regards,
Jens Bakker

This is a very interesting announcement.  I do not know
if it is permitted under Islamic law for non-Moslems to
typeset passages from the Holy Qur'an, but if it is,
and if you have access to the source of a specimen page
for use with XeTeX, I would be very interested to
received it and to attempt to typeset it.


I am not Muslim either. Hopefully a Muslim user can enlighten us.
